Blair Gage

Blair K. Gage (PhD) is a Scientist at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute in the Regenerative Medicine Program. He completed his postdoctoral studies with Dr. Gordon Keller at the McEwen Stem Cell Institute (Toronto, ON) after a PhD in Cell and Developmental Biology with Dr. Timothy Kieffer at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, BC). His PhD work explored how transcription factors regulate the pancreatic endocrine cell subtypes that are formed from stem cells including human pluripotent stem cells. His postdoctoral work shifted to generate liver endothelium from human pluripotent stem cells to create potential cell-based and cell-informed therapeutics for liver disease and Hemophilia A. Before becoming an independent investigator at the OHRI in December 2023, Dr. Gage acquired numerous competitive funding scholarships and fellowships including those from NSERC, CIHR, Michael Smith Foundation, and Stem Cell Network.
