Patient Focused.
The ACE Program
The ACE (Academic Center Expansion) Program is a comprehensive partnership program for select academic medical centers, combining reduced-cost tissue access, research collaboration, and professional education to advance residency training. ACE partners with faculty, program directors, and residency leadership at select academic medical centers who are committed to:
- Developing the next generation of surgeons through hands-on education
- Advancing clinical research and evidence-based practice
- Building collaborative relationships that improve patient outcomes
Because the techniques residents practice today define the outcomes they deliver tomorrow, ACE is built on a foundational principle: train with the best tissue, and carry that standard forward into practice.

What Faculty and Residency Leaders Expect From a Tissue Partner
MTF brings more to an academic partnership than tissue access.
Using 100% aseptic processing with no terminal sterilization, our allografts retain their natural integrity and biological properties, giving residents and fellows the highest-quality tissue to train with. Additionally, ACE partners benefit from collaborative clinical study opportunities, access to research grants, and a dedicated team that stays invested in your program’s success.
