INSTITUTES

Vinmec Research Institute of Stem Cells and Gene Technology (VRISG)

Vinmec Research Institute of Stem Cells and Gene Technology (VRISG) is Vinmec Healthcare System's first intensive research institute. It stands as a strategic research unit in the field of biomedicine, pioneering applied research on stem cell transplantation for various incurable diseases, and promotes proactive healthcare for greater quality of life for all.Work conducted in various fields under VRISG's purview, include stem cells and immune cells.

• Using immune-trained DC cells in liver cancer treatment

• Application of CAR-T cells for cancer treatment

• Building a bank and producing therapeutic drugs from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells; evaluating the results of application in treatments for psychomotor sequelae after traumatic brain injury, obstructive lung disease, infertility, brain paralysis, cirrhosis, osteoarthritis, etc.

• Building a bank and producing Cytokine medications from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell secretions and evaluating the results of applications in treatments of arthritis/osteoarthritis, rejuvenation, etc.

• Research on the application of stem cells in the treatment of neurological disorders, such as: Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, autism, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune encephalitis, etc.

• Research on treatments using stem cell transplantation for cirrhosis, degenerative joint disease, congenital biliary atrophy, cerebral palsy, autism, diabetes, hormone deficiency, etc.

• Application of stem cells in the treatment of many complex diseases for which there is no specific drug

• Mastering new technologies in mesenchymal stem cell culture and secretion

• Generating pluripotent stem cells from milk tooth, umbilical cords, and peripheral blood

• Successfully generating cardiac muscle cells and neurons from pluripotent stem cells

• Stem cell transplantation for the treatment of incurable diseases, cancer, and multiple sclerosis (MS)

• Completing several phase II stem cell transplant trials to apply for approval: Autism, traumatic brain injury, stroke, etc.

• Conducting stem cell research for rejuvenation: Stem cell transplantation for males and females to address hormone decline and health degradation due to aging

Center of Applied Sciences, Regenerative Medicine and Advanced Technologies (CARA)

The Center was established in 2018 with the goal of becoming a leader in Precision Medicine and making a positive difference for Vinmec's clinical program, includes 3 division

• Stem cells

Cell Therapy

• Isolation and culture of stem cells from umbilical cord, bone marrow, and adipose tissue

• Isolation and culture of stem cells frommilk tooth

• Immune cells: Autologous immune-boosting therapy is a therapy that strengthens the body's immune system to prevent and destroy cancer cells

Medical Genetics

• Genetic Diagnostics Unit

• Genetic Diagnostics Unit

• Stem cells Storage Services Unit

• Regenerative Tissues Storage Services Unit

Biobank

• Storage Services Unit for other biological samples: bone tissues (scaula, extremity...); plasma and serum; DNA/RNA; other biological samples, such as stool samples, urine samples, etc.

• Additionally, Vinmec Biobank takes part in biomedical research projects with partners such as the Vinmec Research Institute of Stem Cells and Gene Technology, VinUniversity, and VinBigData
