CTIBIOTECH has strong partners in dermatology having developed key assays and technologies to evaluate skin cell responsiveness.
These include:

Production of skin-related cells and models for drug and cosmetics testing:

We produce from primary skin biopsies, specific models in the micro and macro scales to test components.

We also produce individual cell lines upon demand to specification.

Age-related analyses:

We have in our biobank and through our core partners access to skin samples from age 0 through to 95 years old.

Production of 3-dimensional skin constructs:

CTIBIOTECH is able to create:

These have been used already with our partners to model wound-healing, skin-toxicology, ageing, and reversal of scar formation.

Harmonized neural-skin interface assays:

CTIBIOTECH has created tests to specifically analyse the neural-skin interface to model the effects of wound, burns, loss of feeling, reduction and regrowth of neural cells.

Production of Sebocyte and gland models:
CTIBIOTECH is rare in being able to create and grow human sebocyte models.

Hair models:
In 2015 CTIBIOTECH successfully expanded it’s skin range to hair models. From individual follicles to bed-growth with complete bulb and glands.

CTIBIOTECH is proud to contribute to a reduction in the global animal testing and works in line wiht the European Directive 2010/63/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2010 on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes.
