About AASCRM

Introduction

The Asian Alliance for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine (AASCRM) is a regional academic collaboration platform established in 2019. It was co-founded by three national-level societies: the Chinese Society for Stem Cell Research (CSSCR), the Japanese Society for Regenerative Medicine (JSRM), and the Korean Society for Stem Cell Research (KSSCR). The Stem Cell Society Singapore (SCSS) joined in 2021, and the Australasian Society for Stem Cell Research (ASSCR) became an associate member in 2025.

AASCRM serves as a non-legally binding cooperative platform dedicated to fostering exchanges and collaboration among academic institutions and enterprises across Asia and Australasia.
