iCoat Medical´s co-founder professor Yuji Teramura was awarded the 2025 Japan Society for Organ Preservation and Biomedical Sciences award for the pre-clinical research in the field of transplantation. This prestigious recognition highlights the work on cell and tissue surface engineering with iCM012, designed to attenuate immune responses, reduce ischemia reperfusion injury and improve kidney transplantation outcomes.
The award honours original and outstanding achievements that significantly contribute to organ preservation and protection of organ transplants. The results presented brought considerable attention among clinicians, also reflected in the interest raised by iCoat Medical´s recent publication in American Journal of Transplantation.
" We express pride in this award and the clinical recognition for iCM012 in transplantation" says Peder Waern, CEO of iCoat Medical.
