How do we protect our skin health?

In this episode, we’re going to be putting skin under the microscope, as we’re focusing on the Newcastle-based company Skin Life Analytics.

Skin Life Analytics’ mission is to revolutionise skin health and it’s making the invisible, visible through the detection of the universally recognised skin biomarker of mitochondrial DNA. They are partnering with cosmetic brands, the sunscreen market and the aesthetic industry to deliver simple, non-invasive skin tests for mitochondrial damage.

We’ll be hearing from two representatives of this pioneering company; Mark Birch-Machin and Jonathan Brookes.

Mark is the CSO and Founder of Skin Life Analytics. He is Professor of Molecular Dermatology at Newcastle University and he has pioneered research into the mitochondria’s role in skin ageing since 1995.

Jonathan is the CEO of Skin Analytics. He has twenty years’ experience in the life science and medical device industry. In a previous role at YorkTest Laboratories, he was part of the executive team that raised millions through the sale to a new private equity partner.

In this podcast, we’ll be exploring the company’s growth journey as a university spin-out, throwing the spotlight on its game changing technology and really getting under the skin of this groundbreaking business. Mark also shares some of his top tips on how to better your skin health.
