The Insception Lifebank Story

In 1996, our Founders, in association with Mount Sinai Hospital, formed Canada's first cord blood bank: the Toronto Cord Blood Programme. In 2004, after many successes operating within Mount Sinai Hospital, the Toronto Cord Blood Programme chose to expand by partnering with Insception Biosciences to raise their cord blood offering to a new and higher level of excellence, all aimed at expanding the potential uses for cord blood samples in the treatment of diseases.

In 2012, Insception Lifebank acquired Lifebank Corporation, another successful Canadian cord blood bank company based in western Canada. The combined organization creates Canada’s largest, most experienced and financially stable FACT-accredited cord blood bank, providing greater stability and security for customers and ensuring best practices.

Led by a team of world-recognized research scientists and engineers with faculty positions at the University of Toronto, Insception Lifebank has developed technology in stem cell research and development to complement our cord blood banking service.

Insception Lifebank Cord Blood Program

Today, Insception Lifebank operates from a state-of-the-art facility in Mississauga, Ontario and is the largest cord blood program in Canada, with over 56,000 samples banked. By continuing to partner with leading Canadian medical facilities such as Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital and The Scarborough Hospital, the Insception Lifebank Cord Blood Program is able to provide every family with the ability to collect and store their baby's valuable cord blood, while the company's Biosciences division focuses on developing new and improved applications for stem cells.

Our objective is to continue to develop technologies that will improve the utility of cord blood stem cells by expanding the number of stem cells viable from the cord blood units.
