Teijin established its Regenerative Medicine and Implantable Medical Devices division in 2022 by, integrating Teijin Medical Technologies, which manufactures bioabsorbable implantable devices; J-TEC, a pioneer in regenerative medicine; and Teijin Regenet Co., Ltd., a dedicated contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) for regenerative therapies. The group continues to grow with a mission to provide treatments that restore lost tissue and functions for patients.

Headquartered in Hyderabad, India, BioVaram is a rapidly growing biotechnology company recognized for its innovative regenerative medicine solutions. BioVaram offers AI-designed peptides, exosomes for therapeutic and diagnostic use, and bio-derived materials. The company has earned multiple awards, including being named a “Top 5 Startup” at BioAsia 2024.

Moving forward, the two companies will assess business feasibility, regulatory pathways, technical integration, and market needs to advance these initiatives. They will also collaborate on product development and manufacturing in cell and gene therapy, and pursue plans for introducing SYNFOLIUM^Ⓡ in India. By sharing market insights and regulatory information, Teijin and BioVaram aim to build a robust partnership that accelerates innovation in both countries.
