Indonesia is set to host the inaugural Asia Pacific Regenerative Medicine Congress (APREMIC) in Jakarta from July 2-4, 2026. This significant international event will convene professionals from 14 countries, including the USA, Canada, the UK, Japan, and China, to explore the latest developments in regenerative medicine.

The congress, themed 'Current Developments in Clinical Applications and Regenerative Medicine Therapies,' will feature approximately 24 speakers, many of whom are leading experts in the field of regenerative medicine and stem cell research. Discussions will cover a wide range of topics, from the potential and application of regenerative therapies in medicine to the use of stem cells and tissue engineering for various diseases.

For example, there is still no cure for kidney disease to avoid dialysis, so new therapies using cells (stem cells) are being developed.

Dr. Jonny, President of the Indonesia Society Regenerative Medicine (INASRM), highlighted the importance of the congress in advancing treatments for conditions like kidney disease, where alternatives to dialysis are being sought through cell-based therapies. "For example, there is still no cure for kidney disease to avoid dialysis, so new therapies using cells (stem cells) are being developed," he stated.

The event is expected to not only foster knowledge exchange but also to highlight Indonesia's growing expertise and infrastructure in regenerative medicine. "We want to show that Indonesia is capable, and that Indonesia has laboratories, GMP-standard services, and hospitals offering stem cell treatments. Indonesia can provide stem cell services, so we are not a lagging country. Indonesian experts are also highly competent," Jonny added. The congress aims to position Indonesia as a key player in the global regenerative medicine landscape.
