get in touch
Sanjiv Lal is a healthcare entrepreneur, biotechnology executive, investor, and CEO & Co-Founder of Regen Therapy. Over more than two decades, his career has taken him across pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, molecular genetics, diagnostics, laboratory sciences, and regenerative medicine. Along the way, he has founded, scaled, and exited multiple healthcare businesses, giving him a unique perspective on what it takes to move promising science beyond the laboratory and into the real world.
Today, Sanjiv is focused on one of the questions he believes will define the next era of medicine: how can we better understand and restore the way cells communicate? Through Regen Therapy, his work centers on secretome science, cellular signaling, and building the infrastructure necessary to move regenerative medicine forward, from manufacturing and physician education to clinical frameworks and strategic collaboration. His broader mission is to help transform regenerative medicine from a promising frontier into a credible, scalable, and more accessible part of modern healthcare, while advancing a future focused not simply on extending lifespan, but preserving health, function, and quality of life.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
- Why the future of regenerative medicine may be less about replacing cells and more about restoring cellular communication.
- How secretome science uses growth factors, cytokines, exosomes, and signaling molecules to coordinate biological processes.
- Why manufacturing, physician education, and clinical infrastructure are critical to moving regenerative medicine forward.
- How to separate credible regenerative science from hype and evaluate emerging therapies more thoughtfully.
- Why longevity should focus on extending healthspan and preserving function, not simply adding years to lifespan.
- How Sanjiv’s two decades across healthcare, biotechnology, diagnostics, and regenerative medicine taught him to turn science into real-world care.
- Why innovation alone is not enough and what prevents promising ideas from actually reaching people.
- Why regenerative medicine needs better infrastructure, from manufacturing to physician education, to become scalable and credible.
- How to ask better questions about regenerative therapies and distinguish credible innovation from hype.
