Stem Cell Network Announces Awardees of the 2024 Summer Studentships

June 11, 2024 (Ottawa) – The Stem Cell Network (SCN) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2024 Summer Studentships – 20 senior undergraduate students from across Canada who will spend the summer months undertaking research at Canadian academic institutions under the supervision of world-class regenerative medicine researchers.

In total, SCN is investing $100,000 to supplement the cost of these summer studentships, providing a valuable hands-on experience for the awardees. At the end of August, students will present their project progress at the Virtual SCN Summer Studentship Symposium, and the two top undergraduates will be supported by SCN to attend and present a poster of their work at the 2024 Till and McCulloch Meetings (TMM2024), happening November 4-6 in Montreal.
