New research collaboration between 3Helix Inc., USA, and Phenion

Cooperation in the field of collagen research

We are happy to announce a research collaboration with 3Helix Inc. ‏(USA), the developer of the Collagen Hybridizing Peptide ‏(CHP) technology which targets damaged or denatured collagen in biological samples with high specificity. This interesting collaboration is investigating skin damage using our Phenion® Full-Thickness Skin Models and 3Helix’s CHPs. By joining forces, we are looking forward to developing an innovative skin testing kit that can provide a standardized way to evaluate skin damage in vitro.
