Organs from hiPSCs I Hiro Nakauchi | Milan Longevity Summit 2026

Can regenerative medicine solve the global shortage of transplantable organs? In this session from the Milan Longevity Summit 2026, Professor *Hiro Nakauchi* explores the groundbreaking advances in stem cell biology and organ regeneration that are redefining the future of medicine. From hematopoietic stem cells to the possibility of growing transplantable organs, his pioneering research offers a glimpse into a future where regenerative therapies could transform the treatment of life-threatening diseases. The conversation examines how decades of discoveries in stem cell science are moving from the laboratory to the clinic, opening new possibilities for extending healthspan and improving the lives of millions of patients worldwide. Professor Hiro Nakauchi is Professor of Genetics at *Stanford University* and Distinguished University Professor at the *Institute of Science Tokyo*. An internationally recognised pioneer in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, he demonstrated that a single hematopoietic stem cell can reconstitute the entire blood system and has led pioneering research into generating functional organs through stem cell technologies. His work continues to shape the future of regenerative medicine worldwide. The Milan Longevity Summit brings together global leaders across science, medicine, policy, business, technology and society to rethink the future of health through a One Health perspective—recognising that the wellbeing of people, planet and economies is deeply interconnected.
