Overview
Professor Shinya Yamanaka Nobel Prize-winning discovery of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells at Kyoto University has placed Japan at the forefront of regenerative medicine. This programme visits the CiRA (Centre for iPS Cell Research and Application) in Kyoto, examines Japan accelerated approval pathway for regenerative products, and analyses how the country built a research-to-clinic pipeline that other nations are now emulating.
Program Objectives
- Understand the science and applications of iPS cell technology.
- Analyse Japan regulatory framework for regenerative medicine products.
- Design a national policy for supporting regenerative medicine R&D.
