AI trained on discarded human skin after surgery finds new cosmetic ingredients, bio startup says
A platform that keeps human skin discarded after surgery alive outside the body for up to a month and uses it to train AI models has been unveiled. Outer Bioscience has built a closed research system combining living human skin data with AI to identify new cosmetic ingredients. The company sources de-identified tissue through biobank networks, tests AI-predicted chemicals on living skin and feeds results back into its models. It focuses on commercialising cosmetic ingredients through safety testing and licensing.
