He also holds multiple international patents worldwide for a number of biopharmaceuticals including stem cells, peptides, autoimmune therapies and parenteral nutrition.

Since the mid-80s with humble beginning of a seed capital of USD10,000, Mike had first-hand experience being under the tutelage of some of the world’s greatest cell therapists hailing from the Soviet Union, Germany & Switzerland. Mike subsequently pioneered bio-regenerative medicine, cellular/organo therapy, and stem cell research in Europe, and thereafter led a number of Swiss and German companies renowned for anti-aging cellular therapies into rapid global expansion, with diverse operations from R&D and product development, to manufacturing and distribution, and subsequently physician education initiatives to improve clinical applications of the biopharmaceuticals.

Also renowned for being the pioneer for first introducing stem cell research and cellular therapy into Asia Pacific in the mid 80’s, Mike has since initiated educational programs for physicians and agents from his extensive product distribution networks across 80 countries. A frequent public speaker, he has conducted more than 1,000 lectures, seminars, and symposiums worldwide in the field of biotech sciences, biopharmaceuticals, anti-aging, regenerative medicine, and stem cell therapies.

Mike Chan currently sits on the Board and is the Head of the Regenerative Medicine Scientific Committee for Europe’s largest preventative, regenerative and anti-aging scientific body, ESAAM (European Society of Preventative, Regenerative and Anti-Aging Medicine) established in 2003 and is also the Society’s Asian Chairman. He is also an Associate Professor of AASCP, USA (American Academy of Stem Cell Physicians), Chairman for A4M, USA (American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine) for Thailand/Asia, Japan’s Regenerative Medical Association MMJ (Multi-Dimensional Holistic Medical Team Japan) and co-Founder of FCTI Precursor Stem Cells, Europe. In 2018 and 2019, together with his team of clinicians, he has brought significant Medical and Wellness Tourism and Education Tourism into Switzerland, Germany and Malaysia with physicians from USA, Portugal, Belgium, China, Spain, UK, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Philippine, and Middle East.
