Blanka Novák

An award-winning researcher, entrepreneur, and educator working at the intersection of microbiology, phytochemistry, dermatology, and STEM education. At only 18, she represented Hungary at the Nobel Prize Ceremony—an early milestone that set the direction for her work. Other than her scientific work — leading her to the discovery of a new compound —, she is an avid science communicator and podcaster, currently also lecturing and researching in Digital Pedagogy and STEM motivation. She is a polyglot speaking 7 languages; and the founder of Lybskin, a research-driven skincare brand developing advanced, evidence-based anti-aging formulations.
