In November, the McCleary family visited the newly name John McCleary Laboratory for Stem Cell Research at the General Campus. John McCleary was a multiple sclerosis patient who took part in a pioneering stem cell study to reboot the immune system and stop his MS symptoms. John passed away in 2003, but his family supported a lab in the Centre in his name to help researchers continue the search for a cure.
