Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K, Secrets of a Plastic

Surgeon, and today's podcast is a great one.

We are interviewing someone who's a modern day beauty scientist, Sophie Bye.

Sophie has had a passion for science since a very young age, since the age of 16.

She had a minor planet named after her by NASA and Lincoln Labs.

She's been a chemical engineer with a focus on biomedical engineering at MIT, and she's invented

multiple different proprietary molecules to help to treat eczema, atopic dermatitis, and skin

cancers.

So she has patented some proprietary stuff and she is an

entrepreneur. We're going to learn about her skin care, her philanthropy ventures and also her

current company, BAI biosciences. And I think you guys are going to be so delighted and I also want to learn all about

her skin care tips and tricks and why your skin doesn't need to age anymore. Welcome Sophie to

the podcast. Thank you, Dr. Kay. Kay, so great to be here. So tell us why you got into skin science.

You started with planets and chemical engineering, biomedical engineering.

What brought you to the skin? Yeah, so I was a math athlete growing up. So if you think about

athletes training their whole life to competing Olympics, I train here in my head. I'm a terrible

athlete, like I'm terrible in any sports, but I, you know, started to be on

the stand path since I was six, seven years old.

I just found science very fascinating, and I believe science and technology is the only way to move humanity forward in a good way.

And that's why, you know, I was doing aging research and cancer research at such young age

that led to NASA named the planet after me and came to MIT to do more cancer research with Dr. Bob Langer.

But skin has always been very personal to me.
