Mission & Values

Mission Statement

Our mission is to transform the lives of patients in need of an organ transplant or augmentation by developing autologous neo-organs and tissues that harness the regenerative power of the patient's own healthy tissue, enabling it to restore vital functions.

• Our patented technology combines the patient's own normal cells with biomaterials to create a neo-organ or neo-tissue, which restores or augments organ or tissue health, without using embryonic stem cells or donor tissue.
• Tengion's breakthrough in regenerative medicine has the potential to improve health and to eliminate the adverse effects and limitations related to donor transplants, including rejection and organ shortages.

What We Value

• The talent and passion that motivate breakthrough results
• The trust, respect and diversity that inspire collaboration
• The transparency and accountability that underlie partnership
• The tenacity and optimism that accelerate success
• The transformation of human health and life that our tissues and organs will make possible
