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.

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.
