About the Stem Cell Network
Building Canada’s stem cell and regenerative medicine (RM) research sector has been the raison d’être of the Stem Cell Network (SCN) since its inception in 2001.
SCN’s new Strategic Plan, IGNITE, provides the road map for Canadian research success in the stem cell and regenerative medicine sector.

More than 5,000 HQP have benefitted from SCN courses, workshops and travel awards. See what we’re offering in 2023.
Stem cells are our bodies’ building blocks. They are different from other cells because they have the potential to differentiate into any cell type and can renew themselves, which means they can heal blood, tissue and organs.
Stem Cell Network Welcomes Inaugural Members of its Early Career Researchers Committee
CellLines is the hub for news from across SCN's national network. Each month we share articles of interest, updates on our research portfolio, workshop and bursary opportunities, and the latest scientific publications.
