Alexander Seifalian Welcome Message | TERM C-2025

Dear Esteemed Colleagues and Guests

It is with immense pleasure that I welcome you to the 5th Edition of the International Conference on Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (TERMC 2025), set to take place in the vibrant city of London, United Kingdom, and virtually from September 18-20, 2025.

London, a global hub of culture, history, and innovation, offers the perfect backdrop for our hybrid conference, which unites researchers, clinicians, and industry leaders from around the world. This year, our theme, "Innovations in Tissue Engineering: Shaping the Future of Regenerative Medicine," highlights the transformative power of cutting-edge research in overcoming obstacles and driving advancements in our field.

TERMC 2025 will delve into a diverse range of topics, including tissue engineering, scaffold, smart material, medical devices, surgical implants, biobanking, biosensors, biomarkers, 3D bioprinting, organ-on-chip systems, and many other forefronts of tissue engineering research. With its hybrid format, this conference is designed to provide an inclusive platform for both onsite and virtual attendees, ensuring the widest possible reach for meaningful collaboration and knowledge sharing.

I am especially delighted to extend a warm invitation to our keynote speakers, whose groundbreaking contributions will set the tone for this inspiring event. Your expertise and insights will undoubtedly shape the discussions and stimulate innovation throughout the conference.

I encourage all participants to take full advantage of the opportunities to engage with peers, exchange ideas, and explore new horizons in regenerative medicine. For those attending in person, I hope you also have a chance to experience the unparalleled charm of London—whether it’s the rich history of Westminster and night life, will be organise with us and the cutting-edge research at its renowned universities, or the vibrant energy of its streets.

My heartfelt thanks to the organizers, speakers, and participants who have made this event possible. Together, let us seize this opportunity to shape the future of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

I look forward to welcoming you to London and to TERMC 2025!

Not in the right environment to innovate and commercialize your research ? MOVE ! I did and now my breakthroughs are in 30,000+ patients !

Without a doubt, recent advances in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have revolutionized our ability to prevent, diagnose, and treat infectious diseases over the past century.  But, how did this occur ? Was your research part of these advancements ? Have we innovated and commercialized enough ?  While some of these wonderful research advances have made it to the market helping real people, many have not. Are we doing enough to translate tissue engineering research into real products ? Are companies not paying attention to this wonderful research ? Are Universities not doing enough to help you ? Is your research being licensed to larger companies to make products that help society? Starting new companies ? What about federal funding agencies ? Are they supporting your commercialization efforts ? And, most importantly, are you in the right environment to innovate and commercialize your research ?

Well in my own experience, above all else, it takes a supportive environment. We all have great ideas. But, it takes more than that. It takes a supportive community to translate lab research into commercial products. It takes determination and fortitude to see it through. You need to surround yourself with the right people – and if you are currently not around a supportive optimistic environment, leave ! Leave that negative, ultra-competitive University you are at - I did ! Leave that company that is stifling your advances. Attend the right conferences, not those super competitive conferences where the same people give the same talks, and put your work down !

Once I found a truly supportive environment just 4 years ago, I was able to not only start numerous companies, but commercialize my tissue engineering research into medical devices now in over 30,000 patients with no failures, only success. No infection. No chronic inflammation. No implant loosening. No failures. Period. It just took courage to leave a University which did not care about my research and colleagues who only pushed their own research, constantly putting others down. Negativity everywhere ! Once I found the right environment, everything else moved very quickly – including FDA approval and my tissue engineering research advances in patients in just 4 years !

So I encourage everyone to find that right environment. Attend the right conferences: TERC-2025 at the heart of innovation and commercialization ! Meet the right people ! Be energized by optimistic people ! It will change your life once you make the commitment to surround yourself with positive people.

At TERMC-2025, we will not only discuss the next tissue engineering breakthrough, but more importantly, we will discuss how to commercialize it !

I look forward to seeing everyone and sharing my story !
