A project co-led by Dr. Sheila Teves is one of 32 announced today by the Stem Cell Network.
In the Network of Centres of Excellence’s largest investment to date in regenerative medicine, $19.5M will be distributed to research projects and clinical trials involving more than 400 researchers, clinicians, and trainees from across the the country.
