OSCI Postdoctoral Fellowship Program Competition
The 2015 OSCI Postdoctoral Fellowship Program Competition
OSCI is launching it's fifth year of this program with two new awards for 2015. The application deadline is Monday, March 9, 2015.
Stem cells have the potential to transform medicine, with the promise to treat, manage and perhaps cure some of the most debilitating and costly disease in the world today. Canada has a long and distinguished history of ground breaking discoveries in the stem cell field, dating back to the seminal discoveries of Till and McCulloch, who proved the existence of blood stem cells in the early 1960s. These successes continue today with a world-renowned group of stem cell scientists who have come together to form the Ontario Stem Cell Initiative (OSCI). OSCI has received funding from the Ontario Innovation Trust (OIT) in support of an international postdoctoral fellowship program.
