About The Regeneration Centre of Thailand

Established in 2010, Regeneration Center of Thailand aims to increase the awareness and applications of stem cell science in Thailand and the rest of South East Asia. The goal of the company is to establish leadership in the medical community with a reputable platform for better understanding human pluripotent, multipotent and bone marrow stromal cell therapies and to disseminate knowledge about stem cells.

The regeneration center is privately funded and our medical team works closely with an international network of more than 300 researchers in the academic and commercial biotech laboratories around the world in the pursuit of novel new therapies and in providing strategic scientific initiatives to ensure that companies common goals remain the primary focus. The Company is also currently engaged in the development legislative, administrative and judicial actions and protocols concerning cell therapies with insights into cell banking and expansion medium.
