Leah Garcia is the Founder and CEO of NULASTIN®, a biotechnology-driven beauty company pioneering elastin science as a new pillar of healthy aging. A former professional athlete and national television broadcaster, Leah brings a scientist's curiosity and a communicator's clarity to an industry she believes has overlooked one of the body's most foundational proteins. Since founding NULASTIN® in 2016, she has built a platform of proprietary peptide technologies, backed by a portfolio of issued and pending patents, designed to support the body's elastin network across hair, lash, brow and skin. Leah has pursued clinical studies, ex vivo laboratory research and peer-reviewed publication to substantiate NULASTIN®'s approach, and she speaks frequently on the intersection of biotechnology, healthy aging and category creation. At this forum, she joins fellow innovators to explore where scientific proof and regulatory frameworks meet.
