Labskin has built a remote clinical trial platform that allows trials to happen ethically and efficiently with protocols being followed and distantly controlled; where all data collected is stored according to the strictest of GDPR guidelines; and critically, swabbing can be done under supervision in the trialists’ own home so no in-person contact is needed.

The Labskin model was created by a group of microbiologists at the University of Leeds to study the skin human microbiota and the microbial/host interaction in a controlled environment. Labskin has unique features, including its improved barrier function, dry surface and the expression of antimicrobial peptides which allow the colonization of the model with skin microbiome. We use these defining characteristics to develop methods for testing ingredients and formulations on the microbial community on Labskin.
This Autumn the Labskin Team will be presenting and attending the InCosmetics Virtual Conference from the 6th to 8th October.
