Read about CUTISS in the Swiss Health Insurer Sanitas’ Magazine:

Our body is covered with around 1.7 square metres of skin. If this protection is missing, for example due to extensive burns, reserve skin is needed for skin grafts within a short period of time. Zurich-based start-up Cutiss has developed a new process to bio-engineer the required skin…

Switzerland is perfect for Startups, but… Switzerland boasts some of the best skills in the world, according to Daniela Marino. The Cutiss CEO says Switzerland is also the “perfect place” to be an entrepreneur. So what’s the catch? When it comes to money, Swiss investors aren’t as willing to take risks as their American counterparts.

Moneycab.com: Ms. Marino, Cutiss has developed a revolutionary method to produce human skin in the lab. How did that happen?
In 2001 the Tissue Biology Reseach Unit, a research lab of the Department of Surgery of the University Children’s hospital in Zurich started working on skin bio-engineering to solve an unmet clinical need mostly connected to burns. Unfortunately, standard of care to treat large, deep burns is scarce and ineffective leading very often to highly debilitating, disfiguring scarring. Via personalized skin tissue bio-engineering one could permanently treat large wound surfaces and minimize the scarring.
