Stem Cell Network

The Stem Cell Network (SCN) is a Canadian not-for-profit that supports stem cell and regenerative medicine research; training the next generation of highly qualified personnel (HQP); and knowledge mobilization of stem cell and regenerative medicine research. SCN’s goal is to power life-saving therapies and technologies through regenerative medicine research for the benefit of all. Since 2001 SCN has grown from a few dozen labs to more than 270 world-class research groups, supporting over 250 research projects and 30 clinical trials. Since its inception, over 25 biotech companies have been catalyzed or enhanced and over 6,400 HQP have been trained. In 2021, the Government of Canada demonstrated its continuing trust in SCN with an investment of $45M for the 2022–2025 period.
