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.
