The people behind the science

Working toward a single ambition

We are harnessing the power of teamwork toward a single ambition: ending the global organ shortage. At eGenesis, this ambition underlies everything we do. We believe we can achieve this.

Working at the forefront of this kind of innovation means thinking differently. It means embracing a particular fearlessness, one grounded in research, teamwork, collaboration, reality, possibility, what has been, and what can be. There are patients waiting for our products. There is no time to waste.

Recent advances in science and technology have paved the way for groundbreaking innovation. But the questions that drive us at eGenesis are different. We wonder: what if everyone suffering from kidney failure could have a reasonable hope of getting a transplant? What if the parents of children with type 1 diabetes could be assured that their son or daughter would have a real chance at a healthy maturity?.

Our values

COURAGE

In this novel field, we must be willing to explore new areas and accept the risks and possibilities of real innovation.

INTEGRITY

Everything we do is rooted both in deep scientific rigor and in our belief that we can and will end the organ shortage.

COLLABORATION

We work at a new frontier of science. To make this vision a reality, we need each other. We seek out a wide range of ideas and perspectives.

EXCELLENCE

What we are doing isn’t easy. We not only accept, but welcome that. We want the challenge of doing hard, worthwhile things. What we do is only as good as the people doing it.

HUMILITY

Xenotransplantation is inherently collaborative. That’s a good thing, and it keeps us appropriately humble. We recognize and respect scientific complexity — and never assume that we have all the answers.

CURIOSITY

At eGenesis, we aren’t just answering questions…we are writing the questions. We have a deep desire to learn, to know, and to grow.

Let's make history

eGenesis is growing. We’re looking for outstanding research, medical, and business professionals to join us in advancing our mission.
