Fantastic piece on these intelligent, gentle giants!
Once again, @UofT biomedical communications students bring home the awards from annual @AMIdotorg meeting. @Shay_Sah won BEST-IN-SHOW for his #infographic #Orangutan–the most endangered great ape. See: uoft.me/ami-2021-winne… #MScBMC @UTM @UofTIMS @UofTmedicine @UofTMississauga
When OIRM started in 2015 there were 5 regenerative medicine trials in Ontario and now there are 22 - this wouldn't be possible without support from many private and public sector partners. @ONtrainandstudy @ONThealth
We're on a mission to make stem cell treatments a reality in Ontario 🧬🔬🩺! Learn more in this short video: buff.ly/378s25e #MadeInOntario #stemcells
What does it take to help an speared giraffe? Vigilant rangers who spot it's plight and the SWT/KWS Mara Vet Unit to treat the wound! They carefully removed the spear from this big bull before administering healing drugs. Great job everyone!
While larger animals can outrun bushfires, smaller creatures aren’t as fortunate. As a result, an eclectic little group of orphans have come into our care these past months. Meet the herd at: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates/a…
This OIRM Disease Team is manufacturing its cell therapy at point-of-care @Sunnybrook with HQP as part of process - training the next generation of clinicians and scientists to provide innovative cell therapies for Ontarians @ONThealth @ONeconomy @ONtrainandstudy #madeinontario
ICYMI: Dr. Marc Jeschke of @Sunnybrook Ross Tilley Burn Centre leads one of our Disease Teams in a clinical trial developing a skin substitute using #stemcells from a patient’s burned tissue to improve wound healing/scar quality. #MadeinOntario buff.ly/3ny1xNV
Great read for those looking to move complex cell therapies into early stage clinical trials right here in Ontario!
How do you test the first-ever stemcell-based therapy to treat an untreatable, complex condition in an incredibly vulnerable population – chronic lung disease in extremely premature babies? Read on bit.ly/3fbpshv @OttawaHospital @OntInnovation @ONtrainandstudy

Cell therapy developed by Dr Marc Jeschke for patients with severe burns may be in jeopardy due to funding cuts
Cuts to regenerative medicine research may jeopardize an innovative cell therapy being developed in Ontario to treat patients with third-degree burns @torontolife torontolife.com/city/doug-ford…
