Fiona Co Chan

Founder & CEO
Youthforia

Youthforia was developed by Fiona Co Chan in 2021.The idea for Youthforia came about right when COVID hit. Perhaps it was the inability to go out and see people, but Fiona kept coming back to this idea that the best part of wearing makeup is going out with your friends and sometimes that means forgetting to take your makeup off. She really wanted makeup that was good for your skin, so good you could sleep in it. Prior to Youthforia, Fiona worked in tech where she traveled to some of the most polluted cities in the world - and realized her normal skincare and makeup routine weren’t working.

Prior to Youthforia, Fiona worked in tech where she traveled to some of the most polluted cities in the world - and realized her normal skincare and makeup routine weren’t working. It became very important for her to formulate with ingredients that safeguard from environmental aggressors.During the development of Youthforia, Fiona slept in all of the lab samples (and recruited her husband to sleep in them too) and woke up with much better skin. It completely changed her beauty routine philosophy - makeup is an extension of skincare. And sleeping in lab samples is a huge part of the Youthforia testing process. Above all, we love caring for your skin - we truly believe that makeup should be good for your skin.

It will focus on advancements to overcome ‘off targets’, delivery approaches for in vivo applications and efficacy considerations across patient diversity.CRISPR Therapeutics’ TJ Cradick and Cellectis’ Stefan Scherer will share their clinical trial experiences within therapeutic genome editing applicationsHarvard’s Richard Sherwood will share how to improve CRISPR safety by utilizing machine learningCasebia’s Abraham Scaria will offer delivery guidance to progress in vivo applicationsIn an extremely busy and exciting space it can be hard to pick out the top tool innovations to increase precision and properly discuss clinical challenges, this meeting will facilitate this. It will provide an opportunity with engage with the leading experts who are working on new platforms, leading the clinical trials and have patient insights. It is also a forum to build collaborations to create a clinically and commercially viable, effective and safe approach within gene and cell therapy medicine. ‘CRISPR medicines have the potential to transform the treatment for rare genetic and perhaps common diseases; the challenge for scientists is to demonstrate that these medicines can be both safe and effective’ – Steve Rees, VP of Discovery Biology, AstraZenecaSPEAKERS FROM
