CANADIAN ASSET MAP FOR STEM CELL AND REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
• Regenerative medicine, particularly stem cells, has considerable potential to help in the treatment of numerous common and intractable diseases and conditions
• Canada is a leader in stem cell research as these cells were fi rst discovered by Canadian scientists; however, other countries have become more and more important in this fi eld
• 68 centres within or affi liated with 25 of Canada’s universities are associated with stem cell and regenerative medicine research
• From the sources available for this Asset Map (mainly federal government), more than $277.5 million was spent on stem cell and regenerative medicine research over the last fi ve years (2006/7–2010/11), with Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) as the largest funders (providing 36% and 23% of funds, respectively); since the data from these sources perhaps account for only 50%–60% of overall funding, approximately $460 million–$560 million were probably spent on stem cell/regenerative medicine research
• Th e majority (65%) of funding went to Ontario (ON), particularly the University of Toronto and the University of Ottawa; Québec (QC) received 15%, followed by British Columbia (BC) and Alberta (AB)
(9% each)• 416 researchers (in professor, associate
professor, or similar positions) were identifi ed as working in the fi eld of stem cells and regenerative medicine research; 47% of these are located in Ontario, 25% in Quebec, 13% in British Columbia and 9% in Alberta
• In terms of universities, the University of Toronto (or its affi liated institutions) houses by far the greatest number of researchers (26%), followed by the University of British Columbia (UBC) (12%), the University of Ottawa, McGill University, and Université de Montréal
• Many of the 416 researchers are extremely well regarded, with 81 endowed Chairholders, 69 of whom are Canada Research Chairs (CRCs); 20 researchers have made signifi cant contributions to stem cell research and/or are particularly well funded and/or cited
• Th e most important research organizations within or affi liated with the universities in terms of numbers of stem cell and regenerative medicine researchers and endowed Chairs are with the University of Toronto (Ontario Cancer Institute, Sick Kids, McEwen Centre, Sunnybrook), the University of British Columbia (Terry Fox Laboratory), Université Laval (Laboratoire d’organogénèse expérimentale—LOEX),

introduCtion2.1 Importance of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Regenerative medicine involves the renewal of body tissues or the restoration of organ and tissue function through the use of living cells, particularly stem cells. Stem cells off er a particularly rich source of regenerative technologies as, under the right conditions, they can diff erentiate into many diff erent cell types (see below). Th ey have considerable potential to help in the treatment of numerous common and intractable diseases and conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis, stroke, renal failure, heart failure, cancer, spinal cord injury, and neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Th ey can also be used in organ regeneration, genetic diseases, and other tissue repair or replacement (e.g., bone and skin transplants, cartilage regeneration).
A number of stem cell-based regenerative technologies are used today, such as eye surface stem cells for the treatment of some corneal diseases and injuries; and blood stem cells for treating hematological cancers (e.g. leukemias) and other conditions, such as sickle cell anemia. In fact, bone marrow transplants have become a standard of care for the treatment of certain hematological cancers, while skin stem cells are frequently used
in wound healing. However, these clinical uses represent just a small fraction of the opportunities in regenerative medicine and researchers are working furiously to understand the role stem cells may play in other diseases, and to translate these findings into the clinic.
To be clinically effective, stem cells need to be delivered to and integrate with the relevant body site. Delivery methods can include gels, films, scaffolds, and targeted carrier technologies that are produced from biomaterials (e.g., polymers, lipids), modified cells or, in the case of some carrier technologies, modified viruses. The combination of stem cells (or other cell types) and a scaffold or similar technology is called tissue engineering. Furthermore, because stem cells occur in highly limited quantities within the body, effective methods are required to mobilize, isolate, culture, and store them. Adequate production methods are essential to unlocking their clinical potential.
2.2 Purpose of the Asset MapUsing the methodology described in Appendix 1, this Asset Map provides a snapshot of Canadian stem cell and regenerative medicine research. Since this research sector could potentially be extremely broad-based, we have specifi cally

focused on pluripotent, tissue-specifi c, and cancer stem cell research, biomaterials in terms of scaff olds or similar technologies for use in regenerative medicine, and tissue engineering in terms of production of stem cells and their delivery device. We have not included gene therapy (unless it involves stem cells) or growth factors, xeno-organs, regeneration of plants or animals (unless the studies relate to experimental models of human conditions) or companies working in regenerative medicine.
2.3 Description of Stem CellsTh is Asset Map distinguishes between three overall types of stem cell. Th e two major stem cell types are pluripotent and tissue-specifi c (also known as adult or stromal). Th e third type of stem cell specifi cally targeted in this report are cancer stem cells, a type of tissue-specifi c cell.
Pluripotent stem cells have the ability to give rise to all kinds of cell in the body, such as those of the heart, lungs, muscles, skeleton, or brain. Th ese unspecialized stem cells are derived from either embryos or from adult stem cells that have been reprogrammed (or “induced”) to enter an embryonic stem cell–like state. Th e latter are called induced pluripotent stem cells.
Tissue-specific stem cells have been identifi ed in many organs and tissues, including brain, bone marrow, peripheral blood, blood vessels, skeletal muscle, skin, teeth, heart, gut, liver, ovarian epithelium, and testis. Th ey are undiff erentiated cells that are able to self renew and diff erentiate. Since their primary role in a living organism is to maintain and repair the tissue in which they are found, their
capacity for diff erentiation is usually limited to cell types in the organ of origin.1 So, for example, neural stem cells can become any type of cell in the brain or spinal cord but cannot diff erentiate into heart cells unless they have been reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells.
Cancer stem cells (also known as tumor-initiating cells) are a resilient subset of cells found in tumors with the capacity to self-renew and diff erentiate. Th ey’ve been identifi ed in many types of solid tumor cancers, including cancer of the breast, head and neck, lung, prostate, pancreas and glioblastoma. Cancer stem cells appear to be preferentially resistant to both standard chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Although cancer stem cells are not part of regenerative medicine (they regenerate cancer tissues thereby destroying normal tissues), they are an important aspect of stem cell research.

overvieW of steM Cell and regenerative MediCine researCH in Canada3.1 Canada’s Global Position in Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine ResearchCanada has been a leader in the stem cell research fi eld since Canadian researchers Drs. James Till and Ernest McCulloch of the Princess Margaret Hospital/Ontario Cancer Institute in Toronto fi rst proved the existence of stem cells (hematopoietic) almost 50 years ago.2 For this achievement, they were awarded the 2005 Lasker Prize (oft en described as America’s “Nobel”).3
Th eir work has contributed to the development of several lifesaving therapies, such as bone-marrow transplantation to treat cancer. In fact, more than 42,000 people worldwide have been treated using blood stem cells to renew their blood supply.4 Furthermore, through the continued training of researchers in their and their former students’ labs, Canada has continued to make signifi cant contributions in this area:5
• Drs. Janet Rossant and Andras Nagy fi rst proved the inherent pluripotential nature of an embryonic stem cell
• Dr. John Dick discovered cancer stem cells
• Dr. Sam Weiss was the fi rst to identify neural stem cells in the brain
• Dr. Connie Eaves discovered breast stem cells
• Dr. Michael Rudnicki identifi ed muscle and cardiac stem cells6
• Dr. Freda Miller demonstrated the existence of stem cells in adult skin tissue
• Dr. Derek van der Kooy identifi ed retinal stem cells
• Dr. Mick Bhatia developed a process to transform skin cells into stem cells.7
In fact, Canada’s importance in hematopoietic stem cell research up until at least 2000 was illustrated by a Nature Immunology review that found 15 of the 32 most important papers in the fi eld over the
8
CANADIAN ASSET MAP FOR STEM CELL AND REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
period from 1960–2000 were authored by Canadians.8 In the fi eld of embryonic stem cell research, Canada ranked second in the number of publications from 1991–2001, and fi rst in both total citations and citations per paper.9
However, in recent years Canada has been slipping in importance, mainly because of a slowdown in comparative research funding. Th us, according to the MaRS Regenerative Medicine 2009 Industry Briefi ng report,10 in 2009 Canada occupied 4th position in the global rankings of stem cell researching countries aft er the United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), and South Korea in terms of government funding and 3rd in terms of infl uential stem cell patents (aft er the US and UK), although it still had a leading position (1st) in terms of citations. Although the South Korean investments mentioned above have probably declined recently following the bogus cloning research results of Hwang, other governments (e.g., Germany, the EU) and US states have been making signifi cant and growing investments (Drew Lyall [Executive Director, SCN], personal communication). Th us, since 2007, individual US states other than California have promised over $1 billion in stem cell research funding, generally over a 10 year period (e.g., Connecticut $100 million, New Jersey $250 million and New York $600 million),11 while Wisconsin has established a $750 million public-private partnership for such research.12 California alone is investing $3 billion in the full spectrum of stem cell research and therapeutic development, from fundamental research to manufacturing facilities to clinical trials and beyond.13
3.2 Funding for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine ResearchTh e majority of funding information was obtained from federal government sources. Funding information was also available on the Terry Fox Foundation (TFF), US National Institutes of Health (NIH), AllerGen, the Ontario Government, and the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation websites. Dollar fi gures were not provided on the websites of other provincial governments. Although the SCN breaks down its funds for individual research projects, only total NCE funding for the Network was used in the analysis (see Appendix 1 Methodology).
A minimum of $277.5 million from the aforementioned sources was spent on stem cell and regenerative medicine research over the last fi ve years (2006/7–2010/11). As illustrated in Figure 1, CIHR was the largest funder, providing 36% of the funds. Th e NCE funds, at 10% of the total, were those dedicated to the SCN.
Based on the data contained in the BC Regenerative Medicine Asset Map, the aforementioned funders included in this analysis probably account for only 50%–60% of funding in stem cell and biomaterials research for regenerative medicine. Th us, over the last fi ve years, approximately $460 million – $560 million were probably spent on research into these fi elds. Information contained on the websites of various researchers indicates that other funders include:
• ALS Society of Canada• Canadian Cancer Society• Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation• Christopher Reeve Foundation (US)• Heart and Stroke Foundation (of Canada
and Ontario)

3.3 Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Research Centres As listed in Table 1, 25 of Canada’s universities are associated with stem cell and regenerative medicine research. If the
individual research institutes within or affi liated with these universities are also counted (see Appendix 4), then Canada has at least 68 centres where researchers are investigating stem cells and regenerative medicine. Information on the most important of these centres can be found in Section 8.
3.4 Funding and Researchers by University and ProvinceAs illustrated in Figure 2,14 65% of the $277.5 million in funding went to Ontario (ON). Québec (QC) received 15% followed by British Columbia (BC) and Alberta (AB) (9% each).

Associated with the fact that Ontario received the most funding, the University of Toronto received the lion’s share of funds between 2006/7 and 2010/11, at $117 million (Figure 314). All other universities received less than $50 million.
Using the defi nitions stated in section 2.2. and the Methodology (Appendix 1), 416 researchers (in professor, associate professor, or similar positions) were identifi ed as working in the fi eld of stem cells and regenerative medicine research. A list of them can be found in Appendix 3a. Although all these researchers have obtained grants for stem cell and related research and/or mention stem cell and related research on their websites, it should be noted that they oft en work in additional research areas and stem cells may not be their key focus.
A breakdown of the number of researchers working in each province and institution can be found in Appendix 4. Th e provincial spread of researchers is illustrated in Figure 4. Forty seven percent reside in Ontario, 25% in Quebec, 13% in British Columbia and 9% in AB. In terms of universities, the University of Toronto (or its affi liated institutions) houses by far the greatest number of researchers (26%), followed by the University of British Columbia (12%), the University of
Ottawa (8%), McGill University (8%), and Université de Montréal (8%) (Figure 5 and Appendix 4). Information on individual research institutions affi liated with these universities can be found in Section 8.

foCus of steM Cell and tissue engineering researCHers Of the 416 researchers working in stem cell and regenerative medicine research, 303 (73%) work with stem cells of some type, while 79 (19%) work in tissue engineering (Figure 6). Th e others work in social sciences and humanities (n=16), bioprocessing (n=6), various stem cell technologies such as high throughput sorting/analysis or cryopreservation (n=9), or their regenerative medicine research focus was unspecifi ed (n=3).
Within the stem cell research area, the majority of researchers (54%, n=166) work with tissue-specific stem cells. Forty nine (16%) investigators work with pluripotent stem cells, while 30 work with cancer stem cells (10%). Another 29 (10%) work with a number of different stem cell types (“various”), with at least 17 working with both tissue-specific and pluripotent (Figure 7). The specific targets of many of these researchers can be found in Appendix 3b.
4.1 Pluripotent Stem CellsAs described previously, pluripotent stem cells consist of embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells. Of the 49 researchers who work only with pluripotent stem cells, the majority focus on embryonic stem cells (84% exclusively, another 12% working with both types, i.e., 96% in total). Similarly with the 17 who work with both pluripotent and tissue-specifi c cells, 82% focus on embryonic stem cells (65% exclusively, another 17% working with both types). Th us, of all 66 researchers who work with pluripotent stem cells, whether or not exclusively, 92% work with embryonic stem cells. Twenty percent (n=13) of researchers working with pluripotent stem cells work with those that have been induced (four [6%] with induced pluripotent stem cells only, with or without tissue-specifi c cells; and nine [14%] with both types of pluripotent stem cells, again with or without tissue-specifi c cells) (Figure 8). Individual researchers working with each group of cells are listed in Appendix 3b.

4.2 Tissue-Specifi c Stem Cells (Somatic)Th e majority of Canadian stem cell researchers work with tissue-specifi c cells. Th ese can take many diff erent forms as shown in Figure 9.
Of the 166 researchers who only work with tissue-specifi c stem cells, 58 (36%) work
with hematopoietic cells. Th e next most important stem cell types are bone marrow/ mesenchymal and neural cells. Bone marrow contains at least two kinds of stem cells: hematopoietic stem cells that form all types of blood cells and mesenchymal stem cells that can generate bone, cartilage, fat, cells that support the formation of blood, and fi brous connective tissue.15 In most

cases where a researcher mentioned bone marrow stem cells, the kind of stem cell was not specifi ed. In regard to neural stem cells, these include stem cells derived from the brain, spinal cord, and eye. Th e category of “other” included the few researchers who were working with the stem cells listed at the end of Figure 9. Two of the researchers working with a number of (“various”) diff erent stem cell types also worked with these rarer stem types. Th e tissue-specifi c focus of individual researchers can be found in Appendix 3b.
4.3 Cancer Stem CellsAs indicated in Figure 7, 30 researchers are working with cancer stem cells. Among those researchers who are working with several diff erent stem cell types, one is also working with cancer stem cells. Cancer stem cells are an important group of rare cancer cells that have the ability to self-renew, thereby maintaining and growing cancerous tissue. A list of cancer stem cell researchers can be found in Appendix 3b.
4.4 Tissue EngineeringMany of those involved in tissue engineering work with both biomaterials and stem cells. However, some are just involved in developing the biomaterials, particularly scaff olds, that are required to deliver and/or integrate stem cells into a person’s body. Figure 10 gives a breakdown of the research focus of Canada’s 79 tissue engineers working in the fi eld of regenerative medicine that includes stem cells. At least 65% work with both scaff olds and cells, while 27% work just with biomaterials. Th e focus of each tissue engineering researcher can be found in Appendix 3b.

diseases/Conditions targeted BY steM Cell and regenerative MediCine researCHers Of the 416 researchers working in stem cell and regenerative medicine research, 16 are investigating social science and humanities aspects. Th ese individuals have been excluded from the disease analysis. Th us, the data in Figures 11 to 14 refer only to 400 researchers or a subset thereof. Th e disease focus of each researcher is shown in Appendices 3a and 3c.
As indicated in Figure 11, the highest number of researchers (n=101) work in two or more disease areas (designated “various”), such as hematological and cardiovascular, or neurological, urological, and cutaneous conditions. Th is is particularly true for those who focus on tissue engineering. Some of these individuals are referred to in the sub-sections below.
5.1 CancerTh e most common condition targeted by Canada’s researchers is cancer with 94 working in this area (Figure 11). In addition, two of the nine working in hematological diseases include cancer research, as do nine working in the “various” category. Th us, at least 105 (26%) investigators work in cancer research. As indicated in Figure 12, the most common focus of cancer research is hematological, particularly leukemia.
5.2 NeurologyTh e second most important disease focus is neurological. As well as the 56 individuals almost exclusively focused on such diseases, at least another 10 categorized in the “various” group also work in this area. Th e most common diseases being investigated by these 66 researchers (who constitute 17% of the 400 total number of researchers) are those of the eye, spinal cord, and multiple
20

sclerosis (Figure 13). “Other” conditions include ALS (n=2), Parkinson’s (n=2), Alzheimer’s (n=2), Rett’s syndrome (n=1), stroke (n=2), brain or unspecifi ed injury (n=3), neurological development (n=1), and olfactory (n=2).
5.3 MusculoskeletalFigure 11 indicates that 49 investigators are almost exclusively focused on musculoskeletal conditions, including bone, disc, ligament and cartilage formation and/or regeneration and muscular dystrophy. Th e targeted condition is not specifi ed or involves multiple aspects in 32 cases. An additional eight researchers in the “various” category also work on musculoskeletal conditions, bringing the total to 57 (14% of the 400 total).
5.4 CardiovascularOf the 41 researchers working almost exclusively in cardiovascular research, 23 (56%) are almost entirely focused on the heart. In addition, 16 of those working in several disease areas include cardiovascular conditions among their areas of focus. Th us at least 57 (14% of the 400 total) researchers are working on cardiovascular diseases.
5.5 Metabolic Including DiabetesAll 12 people working on metabolic diseases as shown in Figure 11 work on diabetes. In addition, five of the researchers in the “various” category also work on diabetes. Thus 17 (4% of the 400 total) investigators are using stem cells or related tissue engineering to address diabetes.

MEDICINE RESEARCHERS
5.6 HematologicalFigure 11 shows that nine researchers are working on hematological conditions other than cancer. In addition, fi ve of the researchers working in several disease areas are targeting hematological conditions. Table 2 shows a breakdown of the hematological focus of these 14 researchers.
5.7 OtherFigure 14 shows all other disease areas targeted by Canada’s stem cell and regenerative medicine researchers. Th ose receiving the most attention are immunological conditions (n=6), including
allergies, asthma, immunodefi ciency, and autoimmune. Five researchers are also working on better understanding embryogenesis, while eight researchers are working on aspects of male and female fertility (“reproduction”). Respiratory conditions, such as cystic fi brosis, or lung development or repair, are the focus of four researchers. All other conditions are targeted by three researchers or fewer.
5.8 Translational MedicineAlthough the constraints involved in the preparation of this report did not allow for a detailed analysis of researchers that are
note that in several cases, two neurological indications were given, hence the total of the bars is more than 66.

driving translational medicine (moving fi ndings from the laboratory to the clinic), many were noted during the analysis that did take place. Th irty nine of these are listed in Appendix 3d.
There is no doubt that many other researchers listed in Appendix 3a are also working to translate the basic stem cell research findings to the clinic, as the SCN indicated that its approximately 100 researchers had spent around $50 million on translational research over the past 10 years (Lyall, personal communication). Furthermore, Canada has a history of clinical innovations with stem cells. For example, clinicians at the University of Alberta published “The Edmonton Protocol” in the New England Journal of Medicine (2000), providing the first proof of principle that Type 1 Diabetes could be treated effectively by using replacement beta cells (in this case from donated pancreases).16 This innovation has spurred researchers to explore the potential of deriving functional beta cells from stem cells. In addition, Canadian clinicians developed the “Halifax Protocol” which is now being used in international clinical trials to treat Parkinson’s disease17. Our researchers are also developing new protocols for multiple sclerosis, graft-versus-host disease, stroke, pulmonary hypertension, neuroblastoma and other diseases that can be addressed with stem cells.

relevant support faCilities6.1 Biobanks6.1.1 CORD BLOOD BANKS Th ere are two public cord blood banks in Canada: one in Montréal (Héma-Québec Cord Blood Bank) and the other one in Edmonton (Alberta Cord Blood Bank). Th ere are also blood banks at several universities that have samples available for research purposes.18 Furthermore, there are private blood banks in which parents can place their baby’s blood in case of future medical problems. In addition, Canadian Blood Services are trying to establish a national cord blood bank that should be available by 2013.19 Th e blood banks listed in Table 3 are those that may be accessed for scientifi c purposes. It should be noted that this list may not be all-inclusive.
6.1.2 OTHER BIOBANKSOther biobanks include those with tissue samples (generally from cancer patients) or pluripotent stem cell lines (both embryonic and induced pluripotent) available for research purposes. Table 4 lists some of those available in Canada. Again, this list is probably not all-inclusive but includes two stem cell line banks and 15 other tissue banks. Other potential biobanks are in the planning stage, e.g., a brain tumour tissue bank in Vancouver.20
6.2 Other Relevant FacilitiesAs well as the biorepositiories, there are lots of other facilities that may be relevant to stem cell researchers. Th ese include at least three manufacturing/bioprocessing facilities as well as the other centres listed in Table 5.

KeY researCHers and institutions8.1 Key ResearchersTh ere are several ways to measure the importance of a researcher, including:
• Key contributions• Amount of research funding received • Position within key research institutes• Endowed Chair• Number of publications • Number of citations.
Each of the six criteria metrics provides diff erent outcomes, as described below, but the 21 researchers listed in Table 8 all score high on key contributions and/or levels of research funding ($5 million or greater used as excellence level). Th ree researchers score high on all criteria, while at least eight other researchers score high on a minimum of four of the six criteria (from the information that was available for this project; publication, citation, and contributions data are missing for a number of researchers):
• Mick Bhatia, McMaster University—scores high on all six criteria
• John Dick, University of Toronto—scores high on all six criteria
• Janet Rossant, University of Toronto—scores high on all six criteria
• Connie Eaves—scores high on four criteria
• Keith Humphries—scores high on four criteria
• Armand Keating, University of Toronto—scores high on fi ve criteria
• Gordon Keller—scores high on four criteria• Freda Miller—scores high on four criteria• Andras Nagy, University of Toronto—
scores high on fi ve criteria• Michael Rudnicki, University of Ottawa—
scores high on four criteria• Guy Sauvageau, Université de Montréal—
scores high on four criteria.
In terms of amount of funding received within the constraints of the methodology used in this Asset Map (see Appendix 1), 51 of the 416 researchers received funding of more than $1 million over a five year period (2006/7 to 2010/11). The 13 who received funding of over $5 million are all listed in Table 8, as are two researchers who have recently received over $5 million of funding for use over the next five years from either the Ontario Government (Greenblatt) or Networks of Centres of
38
CANADIAN ASSET MAP FOR STEM CELL AND REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
Excellence (NCE) (Zandstra). Thirteen of the 21 key researchers are directors of or hold similar positions within their research institutions and 11 of these received funding of over $5 million.
As mentioned above, another way of measuring a researcher’s importance is whether or not (s)he holds an endowed Chair. Eighty one of the 416 researchers are Chairholders, 69 of whom are Canada Research Chairs (CRCs). The latter
are high level research professorships created by the Canadian Government to attract and retain some of the world’s most accomplished and promising minds. Eleven Chairholders who have made significant achievements in stem cell/regenerative medicine research and/or received high levels of funding (over $5 million) are shown in Table 8 while the rest are listed in Appendix 3a.

above), the University of Toronto received the lion’s share of funds between 2006/7 and 2010/11, at $117 million (see Figure 3 above). Th is was followed by the University of Ottawa and Université de Montréal. In terms of researchers, the order of importance of the universities changes somewhat. Th e University of Toronto remains the most important, followed by the University of British Columbia, the University of Ottawa, McGill University, and Université de Montréal (see Figure 5 above, Table 9 and Appendix 4). Th e University of Toronto has the most endowed Chairs although there is a higher percentage of Chairs as a ratio of researchers at many of the other universities with more than 10 relevant investigators. On this measure, Université de Montréal comes fi rst (Table 9).
Within or affi liated with the universities are key research organizations, listed in Appendix 4. Th e seven largest of these in terms of numbers of stem cell and regenerative medicine researchers are described in Table 10. Four are affi liated with the University of Toronto (in order of researcher numbers: Ontario Cancer Institute, Sick Kids, McEwen Centre, Sunnybrook) and one of each is affi liated with the University of British Columbia (Terry Fox Laboratory), Université Laval (LOEX), and the University of Ottawa (Sprott Centre). All have endowed Chairs, with the most residing at McEwen (n=6), Sprott (n=5), and Sick Kids (n=4). Table 11 lists 10 other research institutes that each house fi ve or more investigators: three affi liated with the University of British Columbia, two with the University of Toronto, and one each with the University
of Calgary, McMaster University, the University of Ottawa, McGill University and Université de Montréal. In addition, although housing fewer than fi ve researchers (by this report’s analysis), the Institute of Cell Biology at the University of Manitoba is also considered to be a key institution by interviewees.
In terms of publications and citations, data from Industry Canada33 showed that between 1996 and 2009, Canada published over 1,050 regenerative medicine research papers. Overall, Canadian papers in regenerative medicine were cited 30% more oft en than the world average as indicated in Table 10 for our key universities: the University of Toronto, McGill University, and the University of British Columbia, as well as the University of Alberta, the University of Calgary, and McMaster University.

In keeping with the fact that Canadian researchers were the fi rst to identify many types of stem cells, Canada has a signifi cant number of current researchers in this fi eld (416 in professor or associate professor positions), many of them internationally renowned. Canada remains among the world leaders in stem cell research, with Ontario, and the University of Toronto in particular, having the greatest number of
researchers and highest levels of funding. Researchers’ main area of focus is tissue-specifi c stem cells (not embryonic stem cells as may have been assumed), particularly hematopoietic, and the most common disease area targeted is cancer. However, a number of other disease areas are also important, particularly neurological, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular conditions.

1 Methodology tHis asset Map Was Created as folloWs:1. Initial information on regenerative medicine research in Canada was obtained from:
• Provincial regenerative medicine asset maps:
– Ontario’s MaRS Regenerative Medicine 2009 Industry Briefi ng report (www.marsdd.com/buzz/reports/regenerativemedicine)
– Ontario’s MaRS Regenerative Medicine Asset Map 2009 (www.trra.ca/en/sectors/resources/MRI_asset_maps_RM_050809.pdf)
– Th e BC Regenerative Medicine Asset Map (www.tted.gov.bc.ca/MIT/SBIIO/Documents/AssetMap_RegenMed.pdf)
• Th e websites of: – Canada Research Chairs (www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca)
– Canadian Stem Cell Network (www.stemcellnetwork.ca)
– Canadian Stem Cell Consortium (www.cancerstemcellconsortium.com)
– Canadian Stem Cell Foundation (stemcellfoundation.ca/#/aboutUs)
• Industry Canada’s Life Science Industries Branch.
2. Using this information, we identifi ed key leaders within the area of Canadian regenerative medicine research. We contacted 10 of these individuals by email to ask for an interview or for information. Six replied and, using a discussion guide we created for this purpose, we interviewed fi ve (listed in Appendix 2) to gain factual information and inform the structure and contents of the fi nal report.
3. Th e results of the interviews informed some of the other secondary research sources we used to obtain information on regenerative medicine researchers and research centres in Canada. Information was obtained from the websites and reports listed in activity (1), as well as the following websites, using key word searches “stem cells”, “tissue engineering”, and “regenerative”. Data on researchers and their projects (as well as their associated funding, where available) were obtained for the past 5 years (2006/7 to 2010/11) and, in some cases, into the future from:
• Canada Foundation for Innovation (www.innovation.ca/projects/index.cfm)
• Canadian Institutes of Health Research (www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/826.html)

4. Information obtained on researchers from all the aforementioned websites and asset maps was entered into a master Excel spreadsheet. Over 2,000 lines of data were checked for relevance to this project: studentship (undergraduate, Master’s, Doctoral) and postdoctoral fellowship projects and duplicates were deleted; and researchers’ location and activities were checked against their websites to ensure they worked in the research areas covered by this Asset Map and were still residents of Canada. Researchers’ specialties were determined from their funded projects and websites. International reputation was also considered in terms of endowed research chairs and key accomplishments, with data for these being obtained from both CRC and researcher websites, as well as Industry Canada.
5. In terms of funding, dollar amounts were generally only available from federal databases: CFI, CIHR, NSERC, Genome Canada, and NIH. Funding amounts were also available from the Terry Fox Foundation and for some projects supported by the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation and Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation. Th e amount of NCE funding was generally gleaned from press releases. CRC funding was calculated according to the number of years a researcher had been a CRC at $100,000/yr for 5 years for a Tier 2 researcher and $200,000/yr for Tier 1 researcher. Such calculations were only conducted if the CRC funding was not included in the NSERC or CIHR information obtained. Where large-scale grants had been announced before January 2011 but monies would be released in the future, only funds deemed to have been used up to 2010/11 were included in the analyses. However, it was not always possible to determine when
appendiXMETHODOLOGY 1
50
the money was made available and in those cases, funds were assumed to be released within a few months of the announcement.
Although the SCN breaks down its funds for individual research projects, generally only total NCE funding for the Network was used in the analysis as the individual data were not identifi ed until the end of this project. Th e NCE funds were dedicated to the University of Ottawa where the SCN is located. NCE funds comprised less than 10% of total funding so although a breakdown according to SCN grants across Canada would have made some diff erence to provincial and university funding (Figures 2 and 3), it would probably have not been signifi cant except as concerns the University of Ottawa. Even so, this university would still have ranked among the top fi ve. On the other hand, funding for key researchers (Section 8.1) did include those granted by the SCN.
6. Th e data for each relevant researcher were categorized according to institution, province, and key research areas. When key research institutes had been identifi ed from this categorization, the websites of those institutes were checked to locate other researchers that may have been missed.
7. Analyses were conducted in Excel to determine researcher numbers, expertise, and government funding according to province and institution; and key researchers according to the amount of funding obtained.
8. For general information on stem cells/ regenerative medicine and Canada’s position in stem research we used the sources listed in Appendix 5, some of which were provided
by interviewees and Industry Canada Life Science Industries Branch.
9. Information on biobank support facilities was obtained from the existing asset maps and Google searches using key words of province or Canada and “cord blood bank”, “tissue bank”, “biobank”, or “biorepository”; some information on biobanks was obtained from www.specimencentral.com/biobank-directory.aspx. Information on other relevant support facilities came from existing asset maps and the research on researchers and their facilities.
10. Information on networks was obtained from Activity (2) interviews, the websites for the FRSQ (www.frsq.gouv.qc.ca/en/index.shtml), NCE (www.nce-rce.gc.ca/NetworksCentres-CentresReseaux/NCE-RCE_eng.asp), and Google searches using key words of province or Canada plus “research network” or “research group”.
11. Information on key research centres was obtained form those centres’ websites.
12. Information on Canada’s global position and expertise was obtained through factual data gathered during Activity 2 interviews, information contained in the MaRS Regenerative Medicine 2009 Industry Briefi ng report, and other publications as shown in Appendix 5.

Citation data source: Scopus, Website: www.scopus.com. Explanation: Researchers were selected using a formula based on number of papers and citation counts in regenerative medicine and stem cells from 2005 to 2010. Self-citations were excluded. Citation index (h-index) quantifi es the impact of a researcher’s publications. So an h-index of 16 means that the top 16 of a researcher’s articles were cited 16 or more times; an h-index of 12 means that the top 12 articles were cited 12 or more times (Research Performance Measurement: Introducing the SciVerse Scopus h-index).
