Bernard Querleux is Senior Research Associate at the Worldwide Advanced Research center of L’Oreal Research & Innovation, France.

He obtained his doctorate in electronic engineering and signal processing from the University of Grenoble, France, in 1987 and his habilitation in biophysics from Paris-Sud University, France, in 1995. In 2010, he was awarded Honorary Professor from Franche-Comté University, France.

Between 2005 and 2014, Dr. Querleux has served as Scientific Chairman of the International Society for Biophysics and Imaging of the Skin. In 2016, Dr Querleux was elected President of the International Society for Biophysics and Imaging of the Skin for a 4-year period.

His main research interests concern the development of non-invasive clinical methods, including numerical modeling for skin and hair characterization. He is also an expert in functional brain imaging for the objective assessment of sensory perception.

In 2014, Dr. Querleux edited a book entitled “Computational Biophysics of the Skin (Pan Stanford Publishing)” which presents for the first time the contributions that focus on scientific computing and numerical modeling to offer a deeper understanding of the mechanisms involved in skin physiology.
