I am graduate...This is very intriguing post for me. I am graduated as geneticist plus for the last year was studying at cosmetic science course. And now I have a strong opinion that it is probably too early to launch a business like that. And it is not only because of high price for this kind of pleasure. I really doubt the fact that we have enough knowledge about skin genes that will allow us to determine accurately individual skin concerns and especially the precise time when ageing starts. I was dreaming about job in that new exciting sphere, but now I understand that lack of knowledge and connection between cosmetic industry and science are too big. For now we even dont know the reasons of skin sensitivity, the mechanism of desquamation ans so on. This is a new approach and I was watching Geneonyx with the same interest as you. The idea of genetically tailored cosmetics is simply exciting, hope that one day it will be a reality. Something that scientifically proven and effective in use. There are also so many ethical problems in this field, people see genetics mostly like a help to diagnose diseases. So it is probably much easier to get investments for research for this purpose. Thats why I am probably still unemployed.) Actually I also like another idea with the same approach. It is early determination of talents for kids. Alexandranoreply@blogger.com
