Horizontal Platforms

Asian Skin Biobank and Model Development

The Asian Skin Biobank provides well-characterized human skin samples of Asian origin, supported by rigorous ethical governance and quality control. These samples enable the development of customizable 2D, 3D, and ex-vivo human skin models, as well as standardized and tailored assays to study all aspects of skin health and disease. Together, the platform enables human-relevant discovery and accelerates translation and industry research.

Skin Omics

The Skin OMICS Platform leverages mass spectrometry instruments to measure small molecules (metabolites) related to skin conditions in solid (e.g., skin tapes, biopsies) or liquid (e.g., exudate) samples. The platform also supports novel bioactive discovery, including microbiome-derived molecules with potential applications across skin ageing, inflammation, pigmentation and hair biology.
