“The 40th anniversary of the Look East Policy of Malaysia Project”‘The 6th International Conference on Innovative Biology Medicine and Engineering ICIBME ;in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia‘‘The 2nd ASEAN Japan International Conference on Innovative Biology Medicine andEngineering in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’Prospectus
Medical･Environmental･Regenerative Research Organization MERRO is very pleased
to announce opening the 40th anniversary of the Look East Policy of Malaysia, the 6thInternational Conference on Innovative Biology Medicine and Engineering ICIBME
in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and the 2nd ASEAN Japan International Conference onInnovative Biology Medicine and Engineering in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with theNational University of Malaysia.
Japan and Malaysia promote an alliance of medicine, science and technology withestablishment of their network. We move forward tight connection on medical care andASEAN countries with strengthening bilateral relationship. The international
conference harness sessions and discussion on topics of regenerative medicine, vascularsurgery, oncology, engineering, imaging and central nerve system from broad fields. The
conference involves globally significant scientific experts and physicians in field ofmedicine, science and technology at a conference hall. Through this conference, westrongly hope that we can contribute to early detection, early therapy and enhancementof health maintenance. Especially, regenerative medicine which utilize natural
healing power that is inherent in all human beings, animals and plants in the natural
world will be placed at the center of the conference. Regenerative therapy is one of themost cutting edge medical technologies that realizes regenerative medicine by regaining
the vitality of the cells and tissues after creating the physiochemical and biologicalenvironment surrounding cells and enhancing natural healing power.
The WHO indicates a current statistics of the top 10 causes of death that ranks heart
ischemic disease, brain stroke, lower respiratory infections and cancer.
In a base of therapies for cancer ranked at high positions of causes of death in Malaysia
and Asian countries and regenerative medicine, the experts and physicians participate
robust clarification of current issues and future perspective, and they share medical
knowledge and tasks of innovative medical science and therapies in Malaysia, which
include regenerative medicine in clinical considering throughout the world.
Furthermore, as we hope to deepen the friendly relations with ASEAN countries, theconference jointly holds the 2nd ASEAN Japan International Conference on Innovative
Biology Medicine and Engineering ICIBME ; the 1st ASEAN Japan International Conference onInnovative Biology Medicine and Engineering ICIBME―in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Human beings cannot escape from death, but everyone wants to have healthy and happydays while they are alive. Prevention of health is various diseases, trauma and aging.
Regenerative medicine which we pursue has the high potentiality to overcome theseproblems without adverse effects.

We hope we will bring together expertise of Malaysia and Medical･Environmental･Regenerative Research Organization MERRO Group in Japan to our regenerative
medicine , centered to innovative medicine, with the target of medical care for agelesssociety through this conference. Once again, we would like to express our sincere
gratitude to all the professors and those who have contributed to this academic
conference ‘The 6th International Conference on Innovative Biology Medicine andEngineering ICIBME ; The 1st International Conference on Innovative Biology
Medicine and Engineering ICIBME― in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia‘‘The 2nd ASEAN Japan International Conference on Innovative Biology Medicine andEngineering ICIBME ; The 1st ASEAN Japan International Conference on Innovative
Biology Medicine and Engineering ICIBME―in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’, that is thefirst academic conference we hold here in Malaysia.
Our goal is that Malaysia will become a leading country on medicine in ASEAN withestablishments of innovative system at medical centers.
