LVMH Recherche, the research and development arm of LVMH Beauty, has entered into a groundbreaking research partnership with biotech company Integrated Biosciences. This multi-year collaboration aims to discover novel chemical entities that target aging at the molecular level, utilizing the advanced technology of Integrated Biosciences’ synthetic biology and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven platform.
LVMH Recherche Partners with Researchers to Discover New Anti-Aging Molecules. This partnership will leverage Integrated Biosciences’ state-of-the-art deep learning model, which can virtually screen and analyze vast numbers of molecules. The platform identifies chemical compounds that can modulate age-related biological processes, offering a highly efficient and targeted approach to tackling the complexities of aging.
“Our partnership with Integrated Biosciences perfectly embodies our vision: to push the boundaries of scientific discovery in the service of innovation in beauty,” said Bruno Bavouzet, President of LVMH Recherche. He highlighted that this collaboration represents a unique opportunity to evaluate thousands of potential bioactive compounds simultaneously, which could revolutionize the pace of research across LVMH’s beauty portfolio, including their flagship brand, Maison Parfums Christian Dior.

The focus of the partnership is on accelerating the discovery of bioactive compounds that can address age-related cellular changes. This includes exploring the potential of senolytic compounds—anti-aging molecules that target “zombie” cells, which have stopped functioning normally but continue to secrete harmful substances that accelerate aging and inflammation.
The AI-driven approach will allow LVMH and Integrated Biosciences to screen for molecules that could enhance skin health by targeting these dysfunctional cells and rejuvenating the skin’s natural processes. “By combining our skin research expertise with their AI and aging research, we are taking a decisive step in understanding and molecularly addressing age-related cellular pathways,” Bavouzet added.
Founded by scientists from prestigious institutions such as MIT, Harvard University, and the University of California Santa Barbara, Integrated Biosciences brings cutting-edge biotech knowledge to the partnership. Felix Wong, co-founder and CEO of Integrated Biosciences, commented on the significance of the collaboration, stating, “This collaboration with LVMH Recherche represents a significant step forward in our shared commitment to combating aging through cutting-edge science.”
The strategic partnership is poised to unlock groundbreaking insights and products that could transform how the beauty industry addresses aging, marking a major leap forward in the quest for more effective anti-aging solutions.
