CEO of Mebiol Inc. Dr Hiroshi Yoshioka

Dr Hiroshi Yoshioka, an eminent polymer chemist whose technological expertise have contributed to solutions in the fields of plant biology, agriculture, animal cell culture, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The association with him and his team started in 2002 for corneal regeneration using lab grown stem cells which was awarded a patent in 2009. Continuing collaboration has yielded novel solutions in cell therapy for cartilage repair, in-depth evaluation of matrix based reproducible chemically synthesized environments without animal or foreign protein contamination to augment cell therapy tools in various applications including urology and orthopedics. Recently, studies on cellular senescence and implications of micro-gravity have gained our importance on which a Japanese patent has been granted. Dr. Yoshioka graduated from Waseda University, got his PhD in chemical engineering in 1995. After serving in Terumo Corporation, GRACE Japan and Johnson & Johnson he with Prof Yuichi Mori co-founded Mebiol Inc and serves as its president since 2018. The collaboration with GNC beside solutions using cell therapy, focus on cryopreservation of cells and the transportation of cells and tissues between labs and hospitals to improvise the outcome of clinical applications in regenerative medicine.
