Michael Polansky is training an AI model on skin that’s still alive

Michael Polansky has introduced a startup that utilizes an artificial intelligence model to analyze living human skin tissue maintained outside of the body for extended periods. By keeping the tissue viable for weeks, the technology aims to identify new chemical compounds for skincare product development. This approach allows researchers to observe cellular reactions in a controlled environment, potentially reducing the reliance on traditional testing methods while accelerating the discovery of dermatological treatments.
