Technology supported through Medicine by Design’s Grand Questions Program automates the study of cell behaviour to accelerate regenerative medicine treatments
New technology allows researchers to watch single cell behaviour at scale
Two multi-disciplinary research teams awarded Catalyst Grants co-sponsored by Medicine by Design and the Data Sciences Institute
Catalyst Grants co-awarded to research projects that hold promise in strengthening the connection between data science innovation and regenerative medicine.
New Medicine by Design-funded method for testing muscle repair in a dish to impact development of stem cell-based therapies
Scientists at the University of Toronto have discovered a novel way to test self-repair of skeletal muscle, a method with the potential to accelerate treatments for diseases like muscular dystrophy.
Medicine by Design and OIRM invest $1.2 million in technologies and research to advance innovation in regenerative medicine
Twelve targeted projects and two post-doctoral fellowships that are expanding the frontiers of stem cell research will share $1.2 million in funding thanks to programs supported jointly by the University of Toronto’s Medicine by Design initiative and the Ontario Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
Tissue culture platform could offer new insights into Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Penney Gilbert hopes to gain new insights into Duchenne muscular dystrophy using a new, three-dimensional tissue culture platform that can grow innervated human muscle in the lab more quickly and efficiently than previous methods.
