The Society will work to guide the regulatory framework for regenerative medicine
A group of doctors, life sciences companies and academic researchers have come together to launch the Indian Society of Regenerative Medicine to advance regenerative therapies in India.
Currently registered in Uttrakhand, the organisation aims to work towards development of safe and effective regenerative medicine technologies in India. The Society will also work to guide the regulatory framework for regenerative medicine.
Dr Himanshu Bansal, the main convener of the society, said, “There is a need for unified and coordinated advocacy representing the interests of the patients, doctors, researchers and investors that comprise the entire regenerative medicine community.”
A revised set of guidelines on stem cell research was released in 2014 by the Indian Council of Medical Research and the Department of Biotechnology, however there are no guidelines for other types of regenerative medicine in India.
Apart from Dr Bansal Dr Mayank Jain, Bhopal and Dr Neeti Khunger, Delhi are the founding members and are working on the bylaws for the society, election of officers and an executive committee at its first official meeting at Delhi in December 2015.
