BIOMAP’s Public Patient Webinar – Exciting Insights and lively Q&A!
A fantastic public patient webinar took place last week, with around 60 participants from across Europe gathering to learn about BIOMAP’s latest results. After several exciting presentations, the session was wrapped up with a lively Q&A session.
The feedback was very positive, and attendees appreciated the time and dedication of the BIOMAP patient board members, Andrew Proctor (National Eczema Society) and Lars Werner (EUROPSO), as well as the BIOMAP scientists and clinicians, who shared insights and results beyond the BIOMAP network.
💡 What was on the agenda?
Following a short introduction by the BIOMAP coordinator Stephan Weidinger (Kiel University), the agenda featured these scientific presentations in lay language:
📌 What is BIOMAP? Alexandra Hicks, Sanofi (BIOMAP Project Lead)
📌 Why do eczema and psoriasis vary from person to person? Sara Brown, University of Edinburgh
📌 Why do some people develop more severe disease? Lavinia Paternoster, University of Bristol
📌 How does our skin microbiome contribute to eczema? Jan Hartmann, Kiel University
📌 What happens in the skin when it’s inflamed? Rowann Bowcutt, UCB
The meeting concluded with a roundtable discussion and Q&A, chaired by Catherine Smith (King’s College London) and Andrew Proctor (National Eczema Society), where participants asked questions and shared their thoughts.
The BIOMAP team would like to thank all participants of the webinar for their contributions, feedback and exciting questions!

“A fantastic webinar and Q&A session! I really appreciate the transparency and willingness to share information with those living with the condition, even if they are not medical or scientific professionals. It would be fantastic to have access to a recording to take more detailed notes—will it be available after the live stream?” Participant Feedback
