Fall 2020 competition for the MRM Internal Funding is open!

One of the main goals of the MRM Network is to synergize research that seeks novel forward-looking insights and discovery into a basic understanding of stem cells biology, which ultimately translate into novel technologies and regenerative medicine. Toward this end, it is crucial that the MRM support discoveries by our researchers by facilitating the use of the numerous excellent platforms built across McGill University. Thus, the MRM put in place a special fund to support pilot research projects using these MRM-affiliated core facilities.

The MRM Network will sponsor two funding competitions each year to award three to five dedicated research projects involving the use of one of the technological core facilities affiliated to the Network.
