JSRM: Open Innovation Platform to Foster Regenerative Medicine as Universal Treatment
The Japanese Society for Regenerative Medicine (JSRM) is an academic conference for regenerative medicine(RM). JSRM has been involved in various activities for the development of RM such as basic and clinical science, regulatory science, law, medical economy, and education, including the peripheral areas of RM. Through these activities JSRM has been extracting issues involving industry and government to establish RM as universal and standard treatment.
- JSRM has launched some policy proposals to government to ensure the safety and to develop industrialization of RM, which actually resulted in the enforcement of two major acts for RM in Japan, that is, “Act on the Safety of Regenerative Medicine” and “Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Act”.
- From 2016, JSRM acquires government’s competitive funds as a community to be a nation-wide hub of knowledge called “Regenerative Medicine National Consortium”. Within this project, JSRM set major six missions:
1) Support for clinical researches,
2) Development of human resources,
3) Development of database for RM,
4) Coordination of Academic-Industry Translations,
5) Interactive Communication with Patients/Citizens,
6) International collaboration.
In this presentation, I will introduce these activities.

Enabling successes in Cell and Gene Manufacturing through Regulatory Partnerships
Kasey Kime will speak about Thermo Fisher Scientific’s successes in partnerships with global cell and gene therapy manufacturers to help them to move towards commercialization. She will discuss case studies where Thermo has navigated challenging situations with both researchers in pre-clinical research and manufacturers and provided the appropriate solutions such as Cell Therapy Systems (CTS™) or customization to meet regulatory expectations globally. She will also speak about the work of the regulatory affairs team across major markets and how they actively contribute to standards development and regulatory initiatives for raw/ancillary materials and cell therapy automation. Kasey will also touch on the importance of regulatory documentation in the selection of GMP ancillary reagents and other key considerations.
