The Stem Cell Network (SCN) is a Canadian non-profit that supports stem cell and regenerative medicine research, teaches the next generation of highly qualified personal, and delivers outreach activities across Canada.[1][2] The Network has been supported by the Government of Canada, since inception in 2001.[1][3] SCN has catalyzed 25 clinical trials, 21 start-up companies, incubated several international and Canadian research networks and organizations, and established the Till & McCulloch Meetings, Canada's foremost stem cell research event.[citation needed]
The organization is based in Ottawa, Ontario.
Activities
[edit | edit source]Annual Scientific Conference
[edit | edit source]Since 2001, SCN has hosted an annual scientific conference. This conference is open to SCN investigators and trainees, and provides a forum to share new research. The conference takes place in a different Canadian city each year. In 2012, the annual conference was re-branded as the Till & McCulloch Meetings. The establishment of the Meetings ensured that the country's stem cell and regenerative medicine research community would continue to have a venue for collaboration and the sharing of important research. The Till & McCulloch Meetings are Canada's largest stem cell and regenerative medicine conference.
