PSRM to Convene Leading Experts in Regenerative Medicine for 1st Annual Convention

 The Philippine Society for Regenerative Medicine (PSRM) will hold its 1st Annual Convention on October 21-22, 2026, at Discovery Primea Makati, bringing together physicians, researchers and experts from the Philippines and abroad to examine emerging developments in regenerative medicine and their potential applications in healthcare.

Ahead of the two-day gathering, PSRM held a press conference on October 12, 2026, at Discovery Primea Makati, where Society leaders will provide an overview of the rapidly evolving field, discuss developments in regenerative medicine, and give members of the media a preview of the topics and expert discussions that will take place during the convention.


The convention, themed "Leading Innovation in Philippine Regenerative Medicine," will feature discussions on emerging regenerative therapies, cellular science and their potential applications across different areas of medicine.

Leading the conversation are PSRM President Dr. Quincy P. Raya, MD, and PSRM Vice President Dr. Daryl Joel "Butch" Dumdum, MD, DFM, FSRM, who will share their perspectives on the developments shaping regenerative medicine today.


Exploring the science behind regenerative medicine

Regenerative medicine is an evolving field of healthcare that explores how cells, biological materials and other regenerative approaches may support the body's natural processes of repair, restoration and healing.

As research continues to expand, regenerative medicine is being studied across a range of medical applications-from tissue repair and wOund care to musculoskeletal, neurological and reproductive health. Advances in stem cell research, cell-based therapies and cell-free approaches are also contributing to a deeper understanding of how biological processes can potentially be harnessed for therapeutic applications.

At the convention, Dr. Raya will deliver a lecture titled "Emerging Regenerative Therapies for Autism, Parkinson's Disease and Osteoarthritis: From Symptom Management to Targeted Cellular Repair."

Her presentation will examine emerging research involving mesenchymal stem cell infusion and behavioral and EEG outcomes in autism spectrum disorder, ultrasound-guided intra-articular injection of extracellular matrix for knee osteoarthritis, and the potential role of the mesenchymal stem cell secretome in Parkinson's disease.

The discussion will provide a closer look at how regenerative approaches are being investigated across different conditions and the continuing research needed to determine their appropriate clinical applications.

Meanwhile, Dr. Dumdum will present "Cells That Heal, Cells That Kill," a discussion on the scientific Convergence of mesenchymal stromal cells, natural killer cells and extracellular vesicles.

The lecture will explore how these cells and biological signals interact with tiss ue repair, immune regulation and immune surveillance, while also examining important considerations in regenerative medicine-including product identity, potency, safety, host response and responsible clinical translation.

Local and international experts to share insights

The two-day convention will bring together speakers and experts from the Philippines, India and Malaysia, creating a platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration within the growing field of regenerative medicine.

Among the featured speakers is PSRM Vice President External Dr. Maria Romualdez Tan, who wilI discuss regenerative strategies and their applications in reproductive medicine.

PSRM founding board member Dr. Acel Pauline Ampong-Chicano, a reconstructive surgeon and wound care specialist, will discuss regenerative strategies for complex wounds, highlighting the potential role of regenerative approaches in supporting tissue repair and wound management.

International speaker Dr. Prabhu Mishra, PhD, Founder-President of the International Association of Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, will discuss PRP, PRE, BMAC, SVE, MSCs, exosomes and eocretomes, and how these regenerative approaches may be considered across different indications from a research perspective.

Also joining the convention is Dr. Lan Leong Chung of Celgen Clinic in Malaysia, who will discuss the classification, characteristics and clinical applications of mesenchymal stem cells and stromal vascular fraction (SVF).

The convention will also feature the conferment and induction of PSRM members, marking an important milestone for the Society as it continues to build a community of professionals committed to advancing the field in the Philippines.

Leading Innovation in Philippine Regenerative Medicine

Driven by growing interest in regenerative medicine, the Philippine Society for Regenerative Medicine (PSRM) aims to foster scientific and professional dialogue among clinicians, researchers, and specialists. Through its 1st Annual Convention, the Society seeks to facilitate knowledge exchange, explore emerging developments, and promote responsible, evidence-based innovation in healthcare.

The event will also feature the conferment and induction of PSRM members, marking a milestone in the Society's efforts to expand its professional network and advance regenerative medicine in the Philippines.

The "Leading Innovation in Philippine Regenerative Medicine" convention will begin at 9:00 AM on October 21, 2026, at Discovery Primea Makati, and run through October 22.

Japan vs Iceland: Samurai Blue’s final home test before this year’s main tournament

Image
  On May 31, Japan will face Iceland in a friendly Kirin Challenge Cup 2026 match at the Japan National Stadium in Tokyo. 1xBet review is going to tell you what to expect from the game and what key points our team’s fans should pay attention to. What’s important for Japan The key question is which players Hajime Moriyasu will use in the last phase of preparations for the No. 1 football tournament. The squad has a solid core, but certain positions still need to be assessed, particularly given the injuries and the condition of the players who have recently returned to the team. Particular attention will be focused on Takehiro Tomiyasu. The defender has been called up again after an almost 2-year absence from the national team, and the match against Iceland could serve as an important test of his form. If Tomiyasu is ready to play with no restrictions, Hajime Moriyasu will have a more flexible option in the center-back trio and in the initial stages of building attacks. The situation...
