GN Corporation Co was granted the license to host the International Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine meet
Nichi-In Centre for Regenerative Medicine — an Indo-Japan institute for research on Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine has signed an agreement with a Japanese Organization GN Corporation Co (GNC), licensing them to host the International Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine meet, the NCRM NICHE from October 21-23, 2018 in Tokyo, Japan.
The NCRM NICHE was started in India in 2006 and conducted in Chennai till 2016 every year as a National event. From 2017 onwards it has been conducted in Tokyo, Japan as an international event. The XIII edition of the NCRM NICHE will be conducted in the Shibaura Institute of Technology (SIT), Tokyo, Japan. The German Society for Stem Cell Research (GSZ), Cologne, Germany & Training Program in Regenerative Medicine (TPRM), an initiative by University of Toronto, Canada are academic partners to the event. The Edogawa Evolutionary Laboratory of Science (EELS), Japan will provide knowledge and system-based support to GNC.
The Fujio Cup Quiz (FCQ), an active knowledge gaining event in regenerative medicine an integral part of NCRM NICHE 2018 comprises of two rounds – Preliminary, which was held online and the finals will be held in Tokyo, Japan. 24 teams consisting of two members per team have already been selected through the online prelims from different countries to participate in the Onsite rounds in October in Japan.

The active knowledge gaining participants of the NCRM NICHE will also be taken on an exclusive tour to institutes such as the Tokyo Women’s Medical University – Waseda University Joint Institution for Advanced Biomedical Sciences (TWIns) where they will get to interact with experts working on cutting edge Regenerative Medicine applications and join a novel Interdisciplinary Conclave (IDC) in which Japanese scholars from outside the medical arena will present their work in the healthcare domain.
