Dr. Francisco Jimenez received his medical degree at the University of Navarra, Spain, and his Doctoral Thesis at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid. He did his residency in Dermatology at Hospital La Paz, Madrid. After this, he did a one-year Fellowship in Dermatopathology at the University of Miami, a two-year Fellowship in Mohs surgery at Duke University, and a one-year Fellowship in Hair Restoration Surgery at the Stough Clinic in Arkansas. He currently works exclusively in his own private practice (Mediteknia Dermatology and Hair Transplant Clinic) and is a Research Associate Professor at the University of Fernando Pessoa in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. He is Past-President of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (2019- 2020), the largest and prestigious scientific organization devoted to hair restoration surgery. He received the Platinum Follicle Award from the ISHRS for his achievements in hair research in 2011.

Dr. Claire Higgins received her B.Sc. degree in Natural Sciences from the University of Durham, UK, in 2003, and Ph.D. in Skin Developmental Biology also from the University of Durham in 2007. After this, she moved to the Department of Dermatology at Columbia University in New York, USA, as a Postdoctoral Fellow. In 2010 she received a Career Development Award from The Dermatology Foundation and became an Associate Research Scientist, remaining at Columbia until 2013. In 2014, she joined the faculty at Imperial College London, where she is currently a Senior Lecturer (UK equivalent to Associate Professor) in the Department of Bioengineering. At present, she is the Secretary of the European Hair Research Society (since 2017), an independent non-profit organisation founded in 1989 and dedicated to promoting the research of hair biology and hair disease in Europe..  At Imperial, she is also Principal Investigator of the Skin Regeneration Lab, which uses the hair follicle as a model system to study the processes of
