After obtaining his Ph.D. in human pathophysiology at the University of Toulouse, Pascal completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of San Diego. His interest in skin research was demonstrated by his thesis, i.e. “A rare skin disease called Netherton Syndrome”. In 2009, Pascal started working on his project to develop more adequate human skin models with the French National Center for Research and the Paul Sabatier University, which led to the creation of Genoskin in 2011.
