Dr. Sharmila Tulpule

Chairperson, ReGen 2027

Mumbai, India

Aug 27^th-29^th · Mumbai

Two years ago, ReGen was founded with a single conviction — that regenerative medicine in orthopaedics deserved a serious scientific home in India, at a time when orthobiologics was still finding its footing here.

A lot has changed since then. Regenerative medicine has moved from the periphery to the mainstream. More practitioners are adopting it, more patients are asking for it. With that growth comes a responsibility we take seriously: that clinical adoption is evidence-based and rests on strong scientific grounding.

The early adopters in this field — orthopaedic surgeons, pain specialists, researchers — chose to embrace regenerative medicine before it was mainstream, and their patients are better for it. ReGen is where those practitioners come together, and we want you to be part of that conversation.

Over the past two years, ReGen has evolved from introducing regenerative medicine to actively shaping the conversation around it. Last year, that took a concrete form — the publication of the world's first comprehensive PRP Guidelines, an important step towards standardisation, scientific rigour and evidence-based clinical practice.

ReGen 2026 marks the next chapter in that journey. This year, we bring together internationally renowned experts, leading researchers and experienced clinicians to explore not only what is new, but what is proven, reproducible, and meaningful for our patients. We will cover the science, the evidence, the controversies, and the innovations that will define where regenerative orthopaedics goes from here.

Our position remains unchanged: regenerative medicine must not be driven by hype, but guided by evidence. Not by promises, but by outcomes. I invite you to join us as we challenge conventions, share knowledge, build consensus, and help shape the future of musculoskeletal care.

I look forward to seeing you in Mumbai.
