Mission Statement
GenCure's mission is to realize the potential of donated human cells and tissue to save and enhance lives.
Description
GenCure, a non-profit tissue bank, provides various ways for individuals to save and enhance lives through tissue donation. We facilitate the decision offered by donor families and individuals on the Texas Donor Registry to donate much-needed tissue after death. Donated tissue has many surgical and therapeutic applications that benefit patients suffering from disease, injury, or trauma. Additionally, GenCure partners with prominent research institutions by providing tissue that is vital for disease research and the development of new treatments. GenCure also supports and serves donor families and educates the community about the importance of organ, eye, and tissue donation.
