Alizé Vialle of CTIBIOTECH wins SFC Young Researcher Award

For the 2025 Congress, the IFSCC decided to reinstate its Host Society Award. This is a special award created and presented by the Host Society itself, so the Host Society can decide what they would like the award to recognise.

This year the French Society of Cosmetology, SFC, chose to highlight the work of young researchers during the Congress through the SFC Young Researcher Award.

And the worthy winner of the 2025 SFC Young Researcher Award is Alizé Vialle, Project Manager at CTIBIOTECH. It was Alizé’s poster presentation, ‘World’s first computer-connected lab grown human bioprinted skin with a sensory nervous system for instantaneous cosmetics and fragrance testing’ that caught the judges’ attention. So much so in fact that the poster also made this year’s list of Top 10 Congress posters.

“Winning the Young Researcher Award is an incredible honor and a truly humbling experience,” said Alizé. “This project has been a passion for me and the team, and seeing our efforts recognized by such esteemed organizations is incredibly motivating. I am so grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such impactful science and for the support of my mentors at CTIBIOTECH. I would like to thank Richard Leroux, President and Stéphane Poigny, Vice President for Science and Technics of the French Society of Cosmetology and the jury for this award.”
