TMM2024: last call for abstract competition and Till & McCulloch Award nomination

This year, Canada’s premier stem cell and regenerative medicine research event is coming to Montreal! The 2024 Till & McCulloch meeting (TMM2024) will take place at the Hôtel Bonaventure on November 4-6, 2024.

The MRM Network is pleased to partner again with the Stem Cell Network to sponsor five MRM Trainees to attend the TMM2024 by covering their registration fees.

To participate, trainees must submit their abstract for the conference by Tuesday, July 30, 2024, 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time.

Each submitted abstract will be evaluated by the TMM2024 Evaluation Committee and the 5 best ranked MRM Trainees will be awarded a grant covering their registration fees.

Note: only one Award will be allocated within a single laboratory.

Nominations are still open for the 2024 Till & McCulloch Award to recognize breakthrough and innovative publications in the stem cell field between June 1, 2023 and May 31, 2024. You can participate in SCN’s celebration of Canadian scientific excellence by submitting your nominations for the 2024 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, 2023 and May 31, 2024, is eligible to be nominated for the 2024 Till & McCulloch Award. The SCN welcomes 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, 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 Montreal, November 4-6, at the Hotel Bonaventure. Visit tillandmcculloch.ca for more details.
