Submit your nomination for the 2023 Till & McCulloch Award

Nominations are now open for the 2023 Till & McCulloch Award to recognize breakthrough and innovative publications in the stem cell field between June 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023. You can participate in SCN’s celebration of Canadian scientific excellence by submitting your nominations for the 2023 Award now!

Any researcher working in Canada in the stem cell field who has published a scientific finding in a peer reviewed journal between June 1, 2022 and May 31, 2023 is eligible to be nominated for the 2023 Till & McCulloch Award. SCN welcome nominations, including self-nominations, of researchers at any career stage, and we encourage nominations of researchers who are members of groups underrepresented in the sciences.

In 2005, the Stem Cell Network inaugurated the Till & McCulloch Award in honour of Canadian scientists James Till and Ernest McCulloch (pictured), whose pioneering work established the field of stem cell research. The Till & McCulloch Award is presented annually to one researcher in Canada in recognition of their exceptional contributions to global stem cell research in that year.

Researchers are nominated through a public process, and the Selection Committee chooses the awardee based on what is determined to be the year’s most influential peer-reviewed article by a stem cell researcher working in Canada.

The award is presented at the annual Till & McCulloch Meetings and is accompanied by the delivery of the Till & McCulloch Lecture. This year’s conference will take place in Toronto, October 23-25, at the Westin Harbour Castle. Visit tillandmcculloch.ca for more details.

Submit your nomination by July 28.
