For anyone seeing this and realizing what circumcision has taken from them: your feelings are valid, and we're working on a solution. Foregen is developing a regenerative medicine procedure to restore the foreskin in form, function, and sensation.
Nearly $2,000 has been raised in just the first few days of our fundraiser!
Those who give $250 or more will receive a one-of-a-kind Foregen challenge at the end of the campaign.
Your contributions make our project a reality.

Today we’re launching the Research Accelerator Fundraiser: $100,000 to finish recellularization and move toward tissue maturation.
Every $20,000 unlocks a new video from inside the lab. Give $250+ and get a challenge coin made for this campaign!

Our latest newsletter is out. A paper on decellularization, from our current research project, is in preproduction. We also visited our partner lab in Slovakia and have results from the implant study.

Foregen employs rigorous testing protocols to guarantee that each decellularized matrix is entirely free of DNA, toxins, bacteria, and microbes. #RegenerativeMedicine#TissueEngineering#Research
While decellularization is a crucial step in tissue engineering, it is not sufficient on its own. The challenge of achieving proper three-dimensionality in the engineered tissue remains a key hurdle. #RegenerativeMedicine#TissueEngineering#Research
Foregen is advancing regenerative medicine by researching the foreskin's neural and vascular infrastructure. Our preclinical project has sourced 41 cadaver foreskin samples, with one decellularized sample shown here. #RegenerativeMedicine#Research#Foregen#Science#Hope
My journey into this community began with a decision I deeply regret, leading to shame and despair. While seeking a way forward through various approaches, discovering Foregen brought one crucial ingredient: hope. #PersonalJourney#Hope#Foregen
Foregen's regenerative medicine research involves a multidisciplinary team of up to 20 individuals, cooperating with universities for specialized tasks. #RegenerativeMedicine#Foregen#TissueResearch#Hope
Foregen made significant progress in August, with our latest implantation study now complete and all samples recovered intact with no rejection or inflammation. Recellularization work is also advancing toward the full foreskin scaffold.

Reinnervation is a naturally occurring biological process that the body already knows how to perform. Foregen's research focuses on creating the optimal conditions for this regenerative process to restore neural and vascular infrastructure. #RegenerativeMedicine#Hope#Science
