Who we are

Genoskin is a life science company based in Toulouse, France, and Salem, MA that leverages non-clinical immunoprofiling testing to reduce the risks associated with drugs, vaccines, medical devices, or cosmetic actives development, providing earlier access to higher quality human data. What sets Genoskin apart is our commitment to ethical and sustainable practices by offering reliable alternatives to animal experimentation.

Our innovative platforms utilize bio-stabilized and immunocompetent ex vivo human skin samples obtained from diverse donor populations to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of injected biotherapeutics. Recently, we have launched the in vitro Mast Cells Platform, a reliable solution to help our customers study human primary mast cell response to drugs.

Genoskin combines these platforms with advanced analytical technologies such as next-generation transcriptomics, multiplexed proteomics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to generate actionable human data. By doing so, we significantly reduce the costs, time, and risks associated with drug development, enabling more efficient and safer drug development.
