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

Opportunity – Antibiotic Alternatives

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
5
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
6
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

Validity for Host Defense Mimicry
Fecal transplant as treatment for C. Difficile
Yogurt prevention of yeast infections with antibiotic therapy
Early life antibiotics increases risk of IBD
Probiotic/yogurt ingestionin pregnancy reduceschildhood atopy
Immunotherapy revolution in cancer therapy

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

Seed Financing
Why is This Attractive?
Accelerator access to boost capital allows matching for any funds we raise between $1-5 million from Viking Global Venture
Boost capital will fund proof of concept clinical trial with major inflection point
