Mibelle Biochemistry founder Fred Zuelli has been presented with the prestigious Kurt J. Pfeiffer Award by the Swiss Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC).
This accolade recognizes outstanding contributions to the advancement of Swiss cosmetology and the Swiss SCC.
The Kurt J. Pfeiffer Memorial Award is granted every one or two years to individuals or organizations that have made exceptional contributions to the field.
Zuelli, a Personal Care Global editorial board member, founded Mibelle Biochemistry in 1991 and has invented a large number of patent protected cosmetic actives.
He studied chemical engineering at the Technical Engineering School of Winterthur Switzerland and continued his studies at the ETH in Zurich to study molecular biology and biophysics.
In his Ph.D. thesis at the ETH, he investigated the thermostability of bacterial enzymes.
“We are incredibly proud of Fred Zuelli's achievements and his commitment to innovation and excellence in cosmetology,” said a Mibelle Biochemistry spokeswoman.
“Join us in celebrating this significant milestone and the continuous efforts of our team at Mibelle Biochemistry to push the boundaries of scientific research and development”.
