Human ex vivo skin models for
translational and publishable research

Find the right platform for your research

Conventional in vitro and animal models often lack the complexity of living human skin. Genoskin platforms enable academic teams to generate human-relevant data for mechanistic studies, grant-supported projects, translational biology, and peer-reviewed publications.

Skin biology, barrier & delivery research

Study native human skin biology, barrier integrity, topical delivery, skin penetration, UV exposure, formulations, compounds, and donor-specific responses using live ex vivo skin models such as NativeSkin®, NativeSkin® Tape Stripped, and HypoSkin®.

Inflammation, immune activation & disease research

Investigate inflammation, immune activation, cytokine responses, irritation-related mechanisms, and compound effects using NativeSkin®, HypoSkin®, and primary human mast cells.

EXPLORE →

Wound healing, regenerative research & bacterial infection

Assess tissue repair, inflammation, re-epithelialization, bacterial colonization, and human-relevant responses in a relevant tissue context.

Frequently asked questions

How can Genoskin support academic studies?

Genoskin supports academic researchers with human ex vivo skin models and primary human mast cells to generate human-relevant data for fundamental and translational research. These models can be used to study skin biology, barrier function, topical delivery, UV exposure, inflammation, immune activation, wound healing, regeneration, and bacterial colonization. Our team can help define the most appropriate model and donor criteria based on your research question.

Can I order models for in-house research?

Yes. Academic teams can order ready-to-use human skin models for in-house studies, including NativeSkin®, HypoSkin®,WoundSkin®, and human mast cells, depending on the study design and application.

Do you support collaborative or grant-funded projects?

Yes. Genoskin is pleased to contribute to academic projects by providing live human biological material, including human ex vivo skin models and primary human mast cells. We also value the scientific outputs generated through these collaborations and are always happy to share the resulting publications, posters, and publicly released work from these projects.
