About IIRM
The Institute for Integrative Regenerative Medicine (IIRM) stands as a global beacon for a new era in healthcare — one that unites the precision of modern science with the wisdom of ancient traditions.
Founded in 2014, IIRM was born from the Swedish Institute for Regenerative Medicine (SIRM), originally established in 2009. What began in Scandinavia has since evolved into a visionary movement transforming health systems, education, and patient care across continents.

Our Leadership
Dr. Janethy Balakrishnan

An early pioneer in anti-aging, regenerative and aesthetic medicine, she sparked global conversations with her thought-provoking question: “Can aesthetic medicine be effective without anti-aging medicine?” blending aesthetics with nutritional and lifestyle medicine.
Educated in autologous stem cell, peptide and non-cell therapies in Germany since 2009, forming the scientific core of our regenerative work. She was also one of the pioneers studying genomics under the tutelage of a geneticist in Estonia.

Her philosophy places the patient at the center of care — informed, empowered, and actively engaged in their healing journey.
