Our Story

A leading regenerative medicine company committed to driving change and improving patient outcomes

Since day one, we have remained steadfast in our mission to improve the lives of patients worldwide.

Our commitment to disruptive, meaningful innovation goes beyond mere advancement. It’s a dedication to setting new standards that challenge the status quo and push the limits of what’s possible. We believe innovation should be purposeful in how it improves the standards of care and ultimately, patient outcomes. If there is a better way, we will dream it up, and relentlessly strive to make it a reality.

“When Humacyte was first founded, many people thought our goal of creating an off-the-shelf human-derived vessel was the stuff of dreams. The twenty years of dedication that led to this point brought forth a new reality. We don’t take for granted the trust from our patients and caregivers in our platform. Every vessel and every person are an indelible part of our historic journey.

Outreach

Humanitarian aid for vascular trauma injuries in Ukraine.

Our year-long humanitarian program in Ukraine, provided the investigational ATEV to five hospitals on the frontlines of the conflict, beginning in June 2022. At the request of Ukrainian surgeons, we worked closely with the International Office of the FDA and the Ukrainian Ministry of Health to obtain approval for the program. Training was conducted through video conference. In the end, nineteen patients were treated with ATEVs for vascular injuries during the program.

Results published in Journal of Vascular Surgery – Vascular Science

The ATEV used in this program is investigational and not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or any health authority. Its safety and effectiveness have not been established.
