ASRM’s 3rd Annual Convention: Bringing Asia’s Regenerative Medicine Community Together in Malaysia

The 3rd Annual Convention brings internationally respected speakers, multidisciplinary learning, and ASRM’s first formal member induction together in a landmark regional gathering.

International speakers, new connections, and a milestone member induction—join ASRM on 24 October 2026 at Sheraton Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

The Asian Society for Regenerative Medicine (ASRM) is preparing for a landmark gathering as its 3rd Annual Convention brings physicians, researchers, allied health professionals, educators, and industry partners together in Malaysia.

Under the theme “Redefining Longevity and Regenerative Medicine,” the convention will create a platform for exploring emerging research, exchanging professional perspectives, and strengthening connections across Asia.

Taking place on 24 October 2026 at Sheraton Johor Bahru, this year’s event also comes at an exciting time for the society, with an ASRM Malaysia Chapter planned for launch in the coming months. The convention will help build momentum for this next stage of regional growth.

Meet the featured speakers—in person in Johor Bahru

Among the convention’s highlights will be Dr. Patrick Sewell and Dr. Olivia Lesslar, who will personally take the stage to share perspectives informed by their respective backgrounds in regenerative medicine and longevity.

Dr. Patrick Sewell, MD, brings experience spanning regenerative medicine, gene and cell therapies, and minimally invasive, image-guided treatments. His professional background includes cancer research and the development of innovative treatment approaches, offering attendees a perspective on the intersection of medical technology, research, and clinical practice.

Dr. Olivia Lesslar, MBBS, is an Australian-registered medical doctor whose work encompasses psychoneuroimmunology, functional medicine, and longevity. She holds a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery, has completed postgraduate studies in clinical nutrition management and skin cancer medicine, and serves as Medical Director of Functional and Longevity Medicine at Cingulum Health. Her background brings a complementary perspective on the relationships between the brain, immune system, and health. Official biography, 2026 conference profile

Their participation offers a compelling opportunity to hear directly from both speakers and engage with the questions shaping regenerative and longevity medicine today.

A day of learning with connections that last

The convention is designed to bring scientific discussion and professional exchange into one setting. Participants will explore developments in regenerative medicine, consider emerging technologies, and learn from experiences across disciplines and countries.

Alongside the programme, the gathering will create opportunities to meet colleagues, exchange ideas, and develop relationships that continue beyond the event.

Throughout these conversations, ASRM will maintain a focus on evidence, ethics, patient safety, and the responsible evaluation of new approaches—essential foundations for meaningful progress in an evolving field.

Building momentum for the ASRM Malaysia Chapter

Hosting the convention in Johor Bahru marks an important step in ASRM’s growing engagement with Malaysia.

With the Malaysia Chapter expected to launch in the coming months, the convention will help spearhead the society’s local discussions on regenerative medicine, bringing Malaysian professionals into closer connection with colleagues and expertise from across Asia.

The upcoming chapter is envisioned as a foundation for continued education, scientific exchange, and collaboration. The convention will help establish the relationships and shared interests that can support those future activities.

For participants, this is an opportunity to be part of an emerging local community while contributing to a wider regional conversation.

A historic first: ASRM’s formal member induction

The convention will also feature ASRM’s first formal member induction in its three-year journey—a milestone recognising the professionals and partners helping shape the society’s future.

For members, the ceremony will be a meaningful opportunity to celebrate their place in a growing Asian professional community and affirm a shared commitment to learning, collaboration, and responsible progress.

Together with the scientific programme and plans for the Malaysia Chapter, the induction makes this year’s convention a significant moment in ASRM’s development.
