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.

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.
