In vitro 3D human skin models by Asian Skin Biobank, ASTAR Skin Research Labs (ASRL)

Advanced Skin Models Capturing Asian Diversity

The Asian Skin Biobank at A*SRL houses the largest repertoire of skin cell samples (fibroblasts, keratinocytes, melanocytes and adipocytes) from Asia’s diverse population. Building on this unique resource, we provide a wide array of 3D skin models that reflect true diversity while maintaining exceptional consistency and scalability.

In addition to standard collagen I-based models, we offer advanced 3D full thickness skin equivalents containing native ECM that are physiologically relevant and ideal for disease modelling and investigation, product development, and preclinical testing.
