Advertiser Staff

Honolulu-based Tissue Genesis Inc. appointed Dr. Gary Gentzkow its chief medical officer. Gentzkow will head the company's efforts to move its research programs in fat derived cells into clinical studies.

Gentzkow has 30 years experience developing new medical therapies — pharmaceutical, medical devices, biological and cellular, according to Tissue Genesis. This work has focused on wound healing and cardiovascular regeneration and repair, and he has been a consultant to companies developing these new technologies.

Tissue Genesis' main product creates an engineered environment for cell and tissue growth, allowing for better control of experiments.
