Member Board Of DirectorsAxonia Medical Inc. Sep 2014 - Sep 2016Axonia Medical is pioneering a revolutionary and proprietary approach to repair and restore damaged peripheral or central nervous systems using tissue-engineered nerve grafts (TENGs). By recapitulating the anatomy of the nervous system, TENGs are expected to bridge lost nervous tissue and jump-start regenerative mechanisms to achieve levels of functional recovery not possible with current technologies. As a result, TENGs may not only change the way nervous system injuries are treated, but also clinical expectations for restoration or recovery of sensory, motor and/or cognitive deficits.
