EPISKIN Technology
EPISKIN, world leader in tissue engineering, offers Human Reconstructed Tissues to the global scientific community – academic and industry – to support research and development activities in Safety and Efficacy. Episkin’s tissue models allow the evaluation of raw materials, active ingredients and finished products being either in a solid, liquid, powder, cream or gel form. Their models are critical tools to speed up Research and Development phases and to shorten the time to market. Some screening tests are already referenced and validated as alternatives to animal use, and others are in the process of validation
