Canada’s Stem Cell Network (SCN) announced today the launch of IGNITE 2022-2025, its three-year strategic plan funded by the Government of Canada through a $45 million Budget 2021 commitment, starting April 1st, 2022. Additionally, SCN is releasing a refreshed brand identity and updated vision to guide its work for the coming years.
Stem cells have traditionally fuelled the field of regenerative medicine (RM) which is focused on regrowing, repairing or replacing damaged or diseased cells, organs and tissues. As the science rapidly advances so too are the techniques, approaches and tools that can be used to drive RM forward. Guided by IGNITE and increased federal funding, SCN is now well positioned to support an expanded array of regenerative medicine research from bench to bedside.
