MEDIPOST Presents 'Special Award' to Heung K Hospital Director Kim Jonggeun; Holds Special CARTISTEM Seminar at Headquarters
MEDIPOST, the world's No. 1 stem cell biotech company, said on November 10 that it held a special seminar at its headquarters on October 30 and presented a Special Award to Kim Jonggeun, director of Heung K Hospital, who gave a lecture on CARTISTEM®, a stem cell therapy for knee osteoarthritis.
The seminar was organized as part of a program to foster ongoing academic exchanges between the company that developed the therapy and clinical practitioners. In April, MEDIPOST employees visited Heung K Hospital, attended Director Kim's lecture on CARTISTEM's clinical use and a surgical demonstration, and presented him with a plaque of appreciation. The exchange continued about six months later, with Director Kim visiting MEDIPOST this time.
The lecture also took a different approach. Whereas previous sessions had focused on individual surgical cases, this one focused on systematically reviewing the key academic achievements and discussions from a recent CARTISTEM symposium. Drawing on his experience as a surgeon, Director Kim provided an in-depth explanation of the latest clinical data and treatment trends for CARTISTEM, an allogeneic mesenchymal stem cell therapy derived from umbilical cord blood, helping attendees deepen their academic understanding.
The Special Award presented by MEDIPOST expressed gratitude to Director Kim for sharing his medical insights and knowledge and commemorated the strong partnership between the two sides.
As this example shows, maintaining the market competitiveness of advanced biopharmaceuticals increasingly depends not only on research achievements but also on feedback from healthcare professionals who work directly with patients.
