The goal of our courses is to create extensive discussion about the fundamental and new scientific concepts and challenges of skin and hair biology, with particular emphasis on its relevance to the cosmetics, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industry.

We assemble an impressive selection of internationally renowned speakers who will share their knowledge, ideas and opinions covering key topics in the skin and hair science, as well as current and next generation models for studying skin and hair biology and responses to test agents.

To continue with our educational mission in hair follicle biology, we are now offering the presentations and posters of the 2nd International Hair Training Course 2022 on demand for a small organizational fee.
