Precision Biotech, Taiwan’s leading cell therapy innovator, proudly welcomed a cross-disciplinary delegation from 13 prestigious Philippine universities, spanning the fields of medicine, agriculture, biotechnology, aviation, education, engineering, and maritime studies. This milestone visit not only marked a significant step in Taiwan’s expanding biotech diplomacy, but also highlighted the Philippines’ growing commitment to advancing regenerative medicine and cancer immunotherapy.
The visit showcased Precision Biotech’s strides in international outreach and reinforced Taiwan’s leadership in cancer immunotherapy and regenerative medicine across Asia. Through strategic academic alliances, Precision Biotech seeks to integrate scientific research, clinical practice, and educational resources to inject fresh momentum into the Asia-Pacific’s next wave of innovation in cell-based and precision medicine.
The delegation included vice presidents, deans, and research directors from institutions such as Bulacan Agricultural State College, Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology, and the Philippine State College of Aeronautics—academic leaders with significant influence in research and policy-making in their respective sectors. During the multi-day program, Precision Biotech arranged a series of in-depth engagements, including a site visit to Taipei Medical University, underscoring Taiwan’s synergy between academia and the biotechnology industry.
During the conference, Philippine scholars expressed strong appreciation for Precision Biotech’s achievements in cancer immunotherapy, stem cell and exosome research, and anti-aging medicine. Of particular interest was the company’s pioneering work in exosome-based regenerative therapies, a rapidly emerging global field. Several universities signaled their intent to pursue preclinical research partnerships, launch joint faculty training programs, and explore student and talent exchange initiatives.
This dynamic exchange has laid a solid foundation for ongoing scientific and educational cooperation between Taiwan and the Philippines, signaling a new era of regional collaboration in the pursuit of advanced medical innovation
