OSAKA\/DIEPENBEEK - Limburg-based biotech company Rejuvenate Biomed will have a permanent place in the Belgian pavilion at the World Expo in Osaka, Japan. The company, based at Health Campus Limburg DC in Diepenbeek, is the only Limburg representative in the permanent exhibition during Flanders Week, from 16 to 18 June 2025. The participation is part of an international health and biotech mission coordinated by Flanders Investment & Trade (FIT).<\/strong><\/p>\n The Flemish delegation, led by prime minister Matthias Diependaele, consists of leading companies, universities and government organisations. With the overarching theme\u00a0Saving Lives<\/em>\u00a0Belgium profiles itself in Osaka as an innovative leader in healthcare and biotech. From Limburg, POM Limburg and Health Campus Limburg DC are actively participating in the mission. The selection of Rejuvenate Biomed underlines the strength of the regional ecosystem for medical innovation.<\/p>\n \"We are proud that a company from our campus receives this international recognition,\" said Tom Vandeput, deputy for Economy and chairman of POM Limburg. \"It confirms that Limburg counts in the field of biotech and healthcare, also on a global level.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Healthy ageing as a spearhead \"We want to fundamentally rethink the treatment of diseases of old age by recognising that our ability to recover declines with age,\" says founder and CEO Dr Ann Beli\u00ebn. \"Our approach fits perfectly with the Saving Lives philosophy of the Belgian pavilion. We are building a healthier future for everyone.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Limburg innovation with Japanese link The mission to Japan takes on extra significance because of the link with Okinawa, a Japanese 'blue zone' known worldwide for its exceptionally healthy, long-living population. That region is an important source of inspiration for Limburg research into healthy ageing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rejuvenate Biomed krijgt vaste plek in Belgisch paviljoen OSAKA\/DIEPENBEEK \u2013 Het Limburgse biotechbedrijf Rejuvenate Biomed krijgt een vaste plaats in het Belgisch paviljoen op de Wereldexpo in Osaka, Japan.

\n<\/strong>Rejuvenate Biomed is developing drugs against age-related diseases using artificial intelligence. That technology allows them to take into account the general biology of the ageing process. Their phase 2 clinical product, RJx-01, shows promising results for the treatment of sarcopenia, a condition in which muscle strength and function decline with age.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Rejuvenate Biomed supports research into healthy ageing (healthy aging<\/em>), in collaboration with UHasselt. This involves developing an innovative platform that measures how cells age and detects disease characteristics early. The project is part of SALKturbo and receives support from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).<\/p>\n
