Human-relevant skin biology that is difficult to model anywhere else.

Partnerships

Different partners come to Outer Bio with different questions: testing therapeutic candidates, evaluating skin safety, validating active ingredients, or exploring new mechanisms in human skin. We work with companies that need human-relevant skin data to make better discovery, development, and de-risking decisions. Let’s work together to advance skin health and skin biology.

  • Biotech

    Test novel therapeutic candidates in human-relevant skin tissue, study mechanism and efficacy-related biology, and generate translational data before entering the clinic.

  • Pharma

    Advance dermatology focused R&D programs, or evaluate dermatologic safety and skin-response biology earlier — including cutaneous liabilities associated with ADCs, targeted therapies, and other advanced modalities — in a human system conventional models often cannot fully capture.

  • Beauty and Personal Care

    Access novel and differentiated active ingredients backed by biological insights and mechanistic data, or co-develop novel proprietary ingredients with proven efficacy in human skin.

  • Ingredient Suppliers

    Differentiate your portfolio with mechanistic understanding – pairing your manufacturing and distribution expertise with our discovery platform.

Preclinical Solutions

  • Screening

    Evaluate a large number of compounds, ingredients, or materials to quickly identify lead candidates

  • Efficacy

    Perform long-duration studies of up to four weeks across a diverse set of donors to demonstrate skin health benefit.

  • Claim Development Support

    Mechanistic evidence in human tissue to guide which claims are worth pursuing and to inform the design of the clinical work that substantiates them.

  • Safety and Toxicity Assessment

    Characterize a compound's safety profile in human tissue: predicting potential risks, identifying adverse effects, mapping dose-response relationships, and informing safe exposure levels.

  • Discovery

    Collaborative programs to identify and validate novel actives for specific targets or intended claims

  • Custom Research

    Tailored research and data analysis aligned to shared interest

The hardest questions in skin biology are the ones we’re built to answer.
