PSRM to Convene Leading Experts in Regenerative Medicine for 1st Annual Convention “Leading Innovation in Philippine Regenerative Medicine” brings together experts from the Philippines, India and Malaysia to explore emerging therapies and advances in patient care”

The Philippine Society for Regenerative Medicine (PSRM) will hold its 1st Annual  Convention on October 21–22, 2026, at Discovery Primea Makati, bringing together  physicians, researchers and experts from the Philippines and abroad to examine emerging  developments in regenerative medicine and their potential applications in healthcare.  Ahead of the two-day gathering, PSRM will host a press conference on October 12, 2026, at  Discovery Primea Makati, where Society leaders will provide an overview of the rapidly  evolving field, discuss developments in regenerative medicine, and give members of the  media a preview of the topics and expert discussions that will take place during the  convention.  

The convention, themed “Leading Innovation in Philippine Regenerative Medicine,” will  feature discussions on emerging regenerative therapies, cellular science and their  potential applications across different areas of medicine. Leading the conversation are PSRM President Dr. Quincy P. Raya, MD, and PSRM Vice President Dr. Daryl Joel “Butch”  Dumdum, MD, DFM, FSRM, who will share their perspectives on the developments shaping  regenerative medicine today. 

Exploring the science behind regenerative medicine Regenerative medicine is an evolving  field of healthcare that explores how cells, biological materials and other regenerative  approaches may support the body’s natural processes of repair, restoration and healing. As  research continues to expand, regenerative medicine is being studied across a range of  medical applications—from tissue repair and wound care to musculoskeletal, neurological  and reproductive health.  

Advances in stem cell research, cell-based therapies and cell-free approaches are also  contributing to a deeper understanding of how biological processes can potentially be  harnessed for therapeutic applications. Convention: October 21–22, 2026 | Discovery Primea, 6749 Ayala Ave., Makati City Page 9 Prepared by TA-FBDI Advertising Corp. for the  Philippine Society for Regenerative Medicine.  

PHILIPPINE SOCIETY FOR REGENERATIVE MEDICINE 1ST ANNUAL CONVENTION 2026 |  BRIEFING DOCUMENT At the convention, Dr. Raya will deliver a lecture titled “Emerging  Regenerative Therapies for Autism, Parkinson’s Disease and Osteoarthritis: From Symptom  Management to Targeted Cellular Repair.” Her presentation will examine emerging research 

involving mesenchymal stem cell infusion and behavioral and EEG outcomes in autism  spectrum disorder, ultrasound-guided intra-articular injection of extracellular matrix for  knee osteoarthritis, and the potential role of the mesenchymal stem cell secretome in  Parkinson’s disease.  

The discussion will provide a closer look at how regenerative approaches are being  investigated across different conditions and the continuing research needed to determine  their appropriate clinical applications. Meanwhile, Dr. Dumdum will present “Cells That  Heal, Cells That Kill,” a discussion on the scientific convergence of mesenchymal stromal  cells, natural killer cells and extracellular vesicles.  

The lecture will explore how these cells and biological signals interact with tissue repair,  immune regulation and immune surveillance, while also examining important  considerations in regenerative medicine—including product identity, potency, safety, host response and responsible clinical translation. 

Local and international experts to share insights The two-day convention will bring  together speakers and experts from the Philippines, India and Malaysia, creating a platform  for knowledge exchange and collaboration within the growing field of regenerative  medicine.  

Among the featured speakers is PSRM Vice President External Dr. Maria Romualdez Tan,  who will discuss regenerative strategies and their applications in reproductive medicine.  PSRM founding board member Dr. Acel Pauline Ampong-Chicano, a reconstructive surgeon  and wound care specialist, will discuss regenerative strategies for complex wounds,  highlighting the potential role of regenerative approaches in supporting tissue repair and  wound management.  

International speaker Dr. Prabhu Mishra, PhD, Founder-President of the International  Association of Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, will discuss PRP, PRF, BMAC, SVF,  MSCs, exosomes and secretomes, and how these regenerative approaches may be  considered across different indications from a research perspective.

The convention will also feature the conferment and induction of PSRM members, marking  an important milestone for the Society as it continues to build a community of professionals committed to advancing the field in the Philippines. Leading Innovation in  Philippine Regenerative Medicine Driven by growing interest in regenerative medicine, the  Philippine Society for Regenerative Medicine (PSRM) aims to foster scientific and  professional dialogue among clinicians, researchers, and specialists.  

Through its 1st Annual Convention, the Society seeks to facilitate knowledge exchange,  explore emerging developments, and promote responsible, evidence-based innovation in  healthcare.  

The event will also feature the conferment and induction of PSRM members, marking a  milestone in the Society’s efforts to expand its professional network and advance  regenerative medicine in the Philippines. The “Leading Innovation in Philippine  Regenerative Medicine” convention will begin at 9:00 AM on October 21, 2026, at Discovery  Primea Makati, and run through October 22.
