About the Stem Cell Network
Powered by a pan-Canadian community of multidisciplinary experts and next-generation talent, the Stem Cell Network (SCN) focuses exclusively on stem cell and regenerative medicine (RM) research.
SCN’s new Strategic Plan, Accelerate 2025-2029, aims to not only ‘accelerate’ stem cell and RM research, but to cultivate a vibrant research community, driven by exceptional talent, unwavering excellence, and a shared passion for transformative scientific advances.
