Allergan Aesthetics selected an elite group of globally-known

latest developments from the field of aging to the aesthetics arena
and explore how these discoveries could potentially translate to
aesthetic medicine.

efforts to assemble pioneers in the 'healthy aging' field to find
new insights to help accelerate research and product development
and bring exciting new products to market."
Yuva Biosciences plans to develop products based on Singh's
breakthrough research on mitochondria and their role in reversing
skin aging and loss of hair, as he has successfully demonstrated
already in mice which has garnered national and international
recognition because of its potentially broad application.
Yuva Biosciences was selected as the most recent UAB Faculty
