Overview Skinomics

Skinomics

Skinomics is comprehensively defining the human skin microbiome for drug discovery in skin disease

Developing the first skin-derived topical probiotic therapeutic for acne

Like yogurt for the skin

Opportunity – Antibiotic Alternatives

Antibiotic Market-$45 billion

CDC/NIH initiative to reduce Abx

– Multi-drug resistant infections

– Cost US $4-5 billion annually

– Dermatologists-long course Abx

Current Approach

– Race against time and bacterial evolution to develop new antibiotics

Why this fails

– Evolution-Millions of years

– Antibiotics-less than 100 years

– Nature is always one step ahead

The Skinomics Solution

1. Human Natural Defense

– Trillions of commensal bacteria

– Proprietary informatics Database to comprehensively define the skin microbiome

2. Therapeutics

– Human skin-derived biologics Bacteriophage

Bacterial Probiotics

Prebiotics

3. Maintenance

– Probiotic

Problem – Acne – First Skin Probiotic Model

85% Lifetime Incidence

Acne

$4.5 Billion market

40–50 million US

55–75% resistant to antibiotics

Long-course antibiotics are mainstay therapy

Dominated by generics

No personalized therapies

Side effects are common

No durable responses

Solution – 1st Skin-Derived Probiotic Acne Therapy

Probiotic

Using NGS/qPCR we profiled the human microbiome and found there are healthy bacteria and acne-associated bacteria

Good bacteria outcompete bad bacteria

No side effects-normal commensual bacteria

Long term maintenance

Restore natural skin biome

Colonization by “Bad” Bacteria (Antibiotic Resistant)

Colonization by “Good” Bacteria

Fecal transplant as treatment for C. Difficile

Yogurt prevention of yeast infections with antibiotic therapy

Early life antibiotics increases risk of IBD

Competition

In 2009, the Human Microbiome Project & NIH Funded 15 Labs to Study the Human Microbiome

3 of Those Were Dermatology Focused

1 of Those Specialized in Acne

>$3 Million of NIH Funding Has Been Invested in Huiying’s Lab to Study the Human Microbiome
