BioStem Technologies – Innovating in Tissue Regeneration

Jason Matuszewski, CEO, and Andrew Van Vurst, COO of BioStem Technologies discuss the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of structural tissue allografts derived from perinatal tissues intended for homologous use as a protective covering for soft tissue wounds. By applying the latest research in regenerative medicine, BioStem Technologies has developed BioRetain ®, a unique and proprietary technology for processing and producing advanced tissue allografts. Based on this approach the company has developed three perinatal tissue allograft products for wound care: VENDAJE ®, VENDAJE AC ®, and VENDAJE OPTIC ®. 

Jason Matuszewski brings a wealth of experience in strategic operations planning and technical projects management from his rigorous technical background. His diverse expertise includes continuous process improvement, training and development programs, regulatory compliance and best practices implementation, and advanced problem solving. He began his career as a technical engineer working for Adecco at SC Johnson in 2009, where he developed comprehensive maintenance plans to support manufacturing processes at scale. He then transitioned to manufacturing and quality engineering for major organizations, including ATI Ladish Forging, Nemak, and HUSCO International, where he spearheaded process design and implementation, solved complex supply-chain and manufacturing problems, and improved product sourcing and purchasing. His philanthropic work with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation sparked an interest in biotech, leading him to co-found Biostem Technologies in 2014. As CEO he has leveraged his expertise to optimize tissue sourcing, strategically build out a 6,000 square foot tissue processing facility that is fully compliant with FDA 210, 211, 1271, and AATB standards, and put together an expert team of professionals to support the company’s continued growth. Jason holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Technology and a minor in Mathematics from the Milwaukee School of Engineering and is Six Sigma Black Belt certified. He also serves as a Processing and Distribution Council Member for the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB), as well as serves as a member of the Government Affairs committee for BioFlorida.
