EPISKIN
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.
We provide our worldwide clients RELIABLE AND RELEVANT IN VITRO TOOLS FOR SAFETY AND EFFICACY EVALUATION.
Based in Lyon, France, we partner with cosmetical, pharmaceutical and chemical industries to develop relevant and reliable safety and efficacy tests. Our 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.
Our unique cell culture process allows to industrialize important volumes of in vitro models of reconstructed human tissues with well characterized histology, functionality and ultrastructure features. The production unit has been designed to deliver every week our clients with thousands of human tissues.
