Dear Foregen Supporters,
The year has started with remarkable momentum! We're excited to share several significant developments in our progress:
GoFundMe Success
Our fundraiser for human clinical trials has reached its $100,000 goal! Your extraordinary generosity makes this breakthrough research possible, providing crucial funding for our preparation and execution of human trials.
Collaboration with Dr. Stanislav Žiaran
We've launched an important collaboration with Dr. Stanislav Žiaran of Comenius University Bratislava to complete our remaining preclinical objectives. This partnership focuses on finalizing tissue collection protocols, optimizing decellularization and recellularization methods, and implementing bioreactor technology for tissue maturation. Upon completing these steps, we'll finalize the surgical plan, select a Contract Research Organization (CRO), and apply for ethics approval to begin human trials.
Research Publications
Our research publications are advancing steadily. All tissue samples for the HistologiX study have been assessed, and we're currently revising the first draft with our partners before journal submission. Dr. Vega's innovative study on foreskin nerve structures has already been submitted for publication, and we look forward to sharing the results.
The animal trials data from the University of Camerino is in the process of publication. The rat study has been submitted for publication, and the sheep study is undergoing final revisions before submission.
Fundraising
Our January fundraising reached $42,864 across all platforms, including our successful GoFundMe campaign. This funding directly advances our mission and accelerates our progress toward human trials. Thank you for your continued support and belief in our work!
Sincerely,
Ryan Jones
Chief Operations Officer
