New Delhi -- With Governments across the globe including
India banning testing of cosmetics and its ingredients on
animals, the cosmetic and pharma firms can now look
towards eSkIN, a first-of-its-kind computational platform
for skin research that can ascertain the efficacy and
adverse effects of cosmetic formulations.
The world's first comprehensive system biology tool,
eSkIN is developed by the Central Science and Industrial
Research (CSIR)'s lab Institute of Genomics and
Integrative Biology (IGIB), under the Union Science and
Technology Ministry in collaboration with Pune-based
private firm Persistent System. The project has been
funded under CSIR-NMITLI scheme.
Dr Anurag Agarwal, principal scientist at CSIR-IGIB said
that the skin data analysis tool is aimed at meeting the
need of experiments conducted by the cosmetic and pharma
industries without torturing any animal. By just a few
clicks, it will tell what will be the likely result of
that data, he added.
