About us

How it all started.

Bernhard Paetzold and Marc Güell are the scientists behind S-Biomedic. In 2014, these two PhD-grads became fascinated with the applied health potential of the body’s microbiome. Inspired by gut microbiome transplantation, they set off to translate the concept of microbiome transplantation to the skin. Their goal was simple: “Restore the skin’s healthy balance”.

They were joined by business entrepreneur Veronika Oudova and S-Biomedic was born with the mission of transforming the paradigm of skin health care.

After years of intensive research, the team performed the first-ever skin microbiome transplantation. The process of transferring a healthy skin microbiome onto the skin of those suffering from chronic skin conditions (e.g. acne, eczema or psoriasis) proved to be a wild success.
