Regenerative Medicine

Outline
At the Regenerative Medicine Center, we develop cell therapy technologies and conduct clinical research related to regenerative medicine, transplant medicine, gene therapy, and cancer treatment in accordance with GCTP (Good Gene, Cellular, and Tissue-based Products Manufacturing Practice).We have developed Human Platelet Lysate-induced Antigen Presenting cells (HPL-APC) with higher antigen presentation ability, and investigate the differentiation lineage of APC, such as human dendritic cells. We study the regulation of immune checkpoint molecules and cultured mesenchymal stem cells. We are conducting clinical trials using HPL-APC to clarify the safety and efficacy of cancer vaccine therapy targeting neoantigens. We are promoting international joint research with Kaohsiung Medical University (Taiwan) using neoantigen-compatible T cell receptor (TCR) therapy (TCR-T), contributing to the international standard of individual medical technology.
