Focus on Collaboration and Partnerships
Stem cells offer the potential for revolutionary changes in medicine. Reaching this goal requires a coordinated effort from every stakeholder along the pipeline from discovery to the clinic.
This is why OIRM embraces collaboration and partnerships. By engaging with research institutions, health charities, patients, industry and commercialization entities, government and non-government organizations in Ontario, Canada and around the globe, we are paving the way to reach our goal, faster. Because patients deserve it.
