Official WIRM Chapters serve as vital local extensions of the World Institute of Regenerative Medicine’s global mission, as an integral part of WIRM, and are entrusted with advancing the science, education, and clinical application of regenerative, precision, and longevity medicine within their region.
In alignment with WIRM’s vision, Official Chapters operate under the guidance of their local Executive Boards while actively contributing to WIRM’s mission through rigorous research, strategic collaboration, and translational initiatives. Each Chapter is expected to uphold the highest standards of scientific excellence, clinical integrity, and professional collaboration, fostering innovation both locally and globally.
Organizations or groups seeking recognition as an Official WIRM Chapter are invited to submit a formal application outlining their mission, leadership structure, regional impact, and alignment with WIRM’s core objectives. All applications undergo a comprehensive review process to ensure consistency with WIRM’s scientific, educational, and ethical standards.
Upon successful approval, the Chapter will be formally recognized as an Official WIRM Chapter and will receive a Certificate of Official Recognition commemorating its status. Recognized Chapters are expected to actively support WIRM’s global mission while serving as leading regional hubs for education, collaboration, and advancement in regenerative and longevity medicine.
To initiate the application process, organizations should fill out the WIRM Chapter Application Form and submit their request via email to wirm@wirmglobal.org for formal review and consideration.
