Institute for Integrative Regenerative Medicine (IIRM)

Designed for Healing and Well-being: Holistic Systems Biology Approach

A global beacon for a new era in healthcare — where modern clinical evidence meets ancient wisdom and insights.

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.

The Evidence-Based Bridge:

Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Cutting-Edge Science


Longevity Science Integration

  • Validating traditional longevity practices through epigenetic analysis
  • Combining peptide therapies with traditional adaptogenic protocols

Regenerative Medicine Enhancement

  • Traditional and complementary methods that enhance molecular and cellular therapy outcomes
  • Ancient wisdom practises that optimize post genomic era medical landscape

The IIRM Advantage

IIRM pioneers evidence-based integrative medicine that combines holistic understanding, clinical precision, genomic personalization, and digital health scalability. We maintain the highest scientific standards through peer-reviewed publications, multi-center clinical trials, and transparent methodology.

Our Leadership


Dr. Janethy Balakrishnan

Striving for Excellence in Every Patient Interaction.

Founder, Association of Integrative Medicine Malaysia (AIMM)

35+ years of clinical experience

20+ years in integrative medicine

Also the co-Founder and the President of the Association of Integrative Medicine Malaysia (AIMM), Dr. Janethy brings over 36 years of clinical expertise, with more than 2 decades dedicated to integrative, personalized, and lifestyle medicine. 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. She is also a tireless educator, policy advocate, and global speaker championing empowered patient care and sustainable healing. Her philosophy places the patient at the center of care — informed, empowered, and actively engaged in their healing journey.
