“Year over year, I am awe-struck at the breadth of interesting and relevant subjects that each of our guest speakers share at this symposium,” Dr. Michael Brinkenhoff, founder and CEO of RevitaLash Cosmetics, says. “It’s a promising reminder of all the good work being done in the field of breast cancer research, reaching for a cure beyond conventional treatment and looking to the future in a more integrated and holistic approach.”
At the heart of the RevitaLash Cosmetics brand are its philanthropic endeavors and commitment to breast cancer research and education. This mission is dear to Dr. Brinkenhoff who attributes the creation of RevitaLash Cosmetics to his wife and co-founder, Gayle Brinkenhoff, who was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer at the age of 32.
