Skin: Living Armor, Evolving Identity, presented by Acuitas Therapeutics, brings you up close and personal to the amazing properties of skin across an array of organisms.

From hyper-sensing skin receptors in crocodilians to the super thick skin of whales, skin acts as an interface between organisms and their environment. Experience the shape-altering, colour-changing, and adaptable nature of skin and the technological innovations it inspires.
