AI Model Training on Living Human Skin Tissue
Michael Polansky's startup Outer Biosciences is developing AI models trained on living human skin tissue maintained outside the body for over a month. This approach combines biotechnology with machine learning to advance medical research and applications.
Michael Polansky — better known publicly as Lady Gaga's partner and a former top deputy to Sean Parker — has quietly spent years building an AI-driven startup that keeps living human skin tissue alive for weeks outside the body to discover new skincare compounds, and is only now going public about it.
