Reprocell, in partnership with Durham University, has developed leading-edge technology to manufacture biologically accurate complex human tissues, including skin.
About
Reprocell is a leading life sciences company offering products and services to accelerate drug discovery and the development of cosmetics and chemicals. Its Alvetex tissue culture technology and expertise in bioengineering has led to the development of a range of biologically accurate human tissues including skin, lung and intestinal tissues.
Key Benefits
The development of cosmetics, drug therapeutics or new chemicals may require assessment of the safety, efficacy or absorption across skin. The use of engineered human skin avoids the use of animals, provides a robust and reproducible source of material and can be modified to meet specific research goals, such as the study of anti-ageing molecules, prevention of UV damage or skin repair.
Applications
Reprocell's target markets are in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and chemicals. Current users of the bioengineered skin models includes major consumer goods companies, biotechs and pharma.
