Get to know us

ON, the orthoregeneration network is an independent international foundation in the field of orthopedic tissue regeneration driving the development and understanding of new treatment strategies for the well-being of the patient.

ON Foundation

We are an independent nonprofit organization, our information is credible, our network is infinite, our impact powerful and our team is committed.

Founder

The ON Foundation was established in 2018 by family Geistlich, together with the company Geistlich Pharma and various like‐minded experts. The Geistlich family was always committed to scientific research, and promoted the development of new products and surgical techniques in close cooperation with researchers and clinicians. Extensive research and clinical testing of all innovations, as well as practice‐oriented training in clinical applications, has been a major focus of Geistlich Pharma since it entered the field of regeneration in the mid‐1980s.

Whereas the initiative, the idea and the initial funds for the

ON Foundation come from Geistlich, the board is fully independent and ensures the foundation’s autonomy.

Mission

We promote research and discovery in the field of orthopedic tissue regeneration including the use of biologic therapies to drive innovation and develop improved patient-centric treatment solutions.

We provide guidance, education and knowledge for surgeons to improve clinical practice within orthopedic tissue regeneration and biologic therapies.

We foster a network of young professionals, experts, societies, industry and decision makers to advance the field of orthopedic tissue regeneration. Collaboration is key to us.

Organisation

The ON Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded in March 2018 under Swiss law. The foundation is dedicated to advance the field of orthopedic tissue regeneration. Although the foundation aims at a global reach its initial efforts focus on Europe and North America. The founder is Geistlich Pharma AG and Andreas Geistlich.

The board consists of four full members plus two honorary members, a representative from the founder and the executive director without voting rights. Additionally, there is a so called expert team, a wider circle of orthoregeneration experts, who are actively supporting the initiatives of the ON Foundation. The office currently employs the Executive Director, a Communications Manager, a Specialist Science & Education and a Specialist Administration & Events.
