CTIBiotech marked IFSCC 2025 with the first 3D bioprinted, computer-connected skin, a major breakthrough for the cosmetics industry and beyond.
CTIBiotech, a pioneering bioprinting company, recently won IFSCC 2025 with an unprecedented innovation: the first 3D bioprinted, computer-connected human skin, equipped with a sensory nervous system. Presented at the international cosmetology congress in Cannes, this innovation earned the company the prestigious IFSCC Top 10 Posters Award, as well as the Young Researcher Prize awarded to Alizé Vialle, project manager at CTIBiotech. This recognition not only underlines the scientific excellence of their work, but also its significant impact on the cosmetics industry.
A spectacular breakthrough
CTIBiotech's CTISkin technology represents a major breakthrough for the cosmetics industry. This technical feat consisted in developing a three-dimensional bioprinted human skin, fully connected to a computer, and equipped with a genuine sensory nervous system. The application of this innovation is twofold: not only does it enable more ethical and accurate cosmetics and fragrance testing, but it also reduces the use of animals for these same tests. Thanks to real-time testing and enhanced predictive capability, CTIBiotech's technology offers a dramatic improvement in product formulation and marketing cycles.
Alizé Vialle declares: " CTISkin bioprinted skin heralds a new era in cosmetics, with its nervous system enabling precise anticipation of skin reactions. "She adds that this helps streamline processes while increasing efficiency and scientific reliability.
Strategic outlook
In addition to the cosmetics industry, this innovation from CTIBiotech offers extensive opportunities in biomedical and dermatological research. Researchers can now explore neuro-cutaneous interactions and wound healing mechanisms in an unprecedented experimental setting. With its potential applications in the development of personalized treatments, this bioprinted human skin represents a valuable advance for skin science and biotechnology.
The IFSCC congress, which brings together the world's leading cosmetology experts, consolidates CTIBiotech's position at the forefront of cosmetic innovation. With over a decade of research and development under its belt, the company is positioning itself as an essential leader in the creation of advanced and ethical human tissue models.
