The two sides will make full use of their respective advantages to reach in-depth cooperation in cell development and differentiation methods, in vitro functional testing technology development, model animal development, cell drug research and development, quality standards, etc., and are committed to jointly creating and exploring new applications of iPSC technology in the treatment of metabolic system diseases. Field, promote safe, effective and accessible stem cell drugs into clinical practice.
Wu Bo, Director of General Surgery Department of Shanghai City Sixth People's Hospital, Ouyang Ping, founder and chairman of Yuanwu Medical, and Dr. Jin Jun, General Manager and CTO, attended the meeting. Professor Wang Hongbing, doctoral supervisor of the School of Life Sciences and Technology, Tongji University, and Professor He Zhiying, a researcher and doctoral supervisor of the Institute of Advanced Study in Translational Medicine, Tongji University, and other special guests witnessed the signing of the contract.
The Sixth People's Hospital of Shanghai City integrates clinical practice, scientific research and teaching. It is a leading research hospital in the country and even the world. It leads biomedical transformation, promotes cross-cooperation in multiple fields, and has made a lot of original contributions in clinical diagnosis and treatment, scientific research, etc.
Yuanwu Medical is a regenerative medicine company focusing on the development and application of iPSC(Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell) technology. iPSC technology is hailed as the third medical revolution after drug treatment and surgical treatment, and has shown great potential in the treatment of chronic degenerative diseases. The company's current pipeline indications are Parkinson's disease and osteoarthritis, both of which have entered the animal experimental stage.
Director Wu Bo said that as a clinician, we have found that there are still a large number of unmet clinical needs. This year marks the 120th anniversary of the founding of the Shanghai Sixth Hospital. We hope to take this opportunity to strengthen the leadership of scientific and technological innovation and open up new tracks to cultivate new quality productivity. Yuanwu Medicine was chosen because it has its own unique advantages in terms of core technology, professional team, scientific research capabilities, etc., and both parties have a common goal: to "start with the end" and open up the transformation from laboratory to clinical practice. road.
Chairman Ouyang Ping of Yuanwu Medicine emphasized that the Sixth People's Hospital of Shanghai City has rich experience in scientific research, clinical practice and transformation of scientific and technological achievements. This cooperation will help Yuanwu Medicine achieve new breakthroughs in innovation transformation and clinical application, discover the most realistic and accurate clinical needs, and provide new cure solutions for metabolic diseases. Today, when the world is facing a "wave of aging", this has very great social significance and economic value.
