McEwen Centre for Regenerative Medicine
The McEwen Centre for Regenerative Medicine was established at University Health Network in Toronto in 2003, with a donation from Rob and Cheryl McEwen, which they matched in 2006 with a second donation.
The McEwen Centre’s vision is to be a world-renowned centre for stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. To achieve this ambitious goal, the team of McEwen Investigators is working together to accelerate the development of more effective treatments for conditions such as heart disease, diabetes mellitus, respiratory disease and spinal cord injury. The McEwen Centre is based in the heart of Toronto’s Discovery District at the MaRS Centre/Toronto Medical Discovery Tower.
The current Director of the McEwen Center for Regenerative Medicine is Prof. Gordon Keller, Canada Research Chair in Embryonic Stem Cell Biology. Other McEwen scientists include John E. Dick, Michael G. Fehlings, Mansoor Husain, Norman N. Iscove, Shaf Keshavjee, Cristina Nostro, Ren-Ke Li, Freda Miller, Andras Nagy, Molly Shoichet, Derek van der Kooy, Rüdiger von Harsdorf, Thomas K. Waddell, Richard D. Weisel and Peter Zandstra.
