In this 21st century, numerous scientific technologies have dramatically progressed. As for the field of life science or medical science, genetics, cell-biology, protein-engineering and immuno-science are notable. We get many benefits from these sciences, such as various unique drugs and therapies using cell-culture technology.
To conduct clinical application thorough research and development of these technologies, the procedure is absolutely essential as a technology-oriented company and it is also our know-how. Recently, we have successfully received the manufacturing and sales approval from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan for our regenerative medicine product “Sakracy (TR-09)”. This product, the cultivated autologous oral mucosal epithelial cell sheet, is grafted to severe ocular surface. It has been developed by academia.
Moreover, a clinical trial of the cultivated autologous chondrocyte is also in progress. This cellular matrix product (IK-01) is focused to osteoarthritis.
One of our advantages is a management skill of clinical development and sales marketing. In fact, we succussed introduction of seeds technology from academia, clinical application and its medical business.
