The TERMIS-AP Chapter supports the global mission of TERMIS by bringing together the European community engaged in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. We promote regional education, research, and innovation through our regular conferences and specialized committees, serving as a forum for discussing the unique challenges and therapeutic benefits of these technologies within the Asian Pacific landscape.ù
