Timeline

1926

Ernest Armstrong McCulloch (27 April 1926 – 20 January 2011) was a University of Toronto cellular biologist, best known for demonstrating – with James Till – the existence of stem cells.

McCulloch was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on 27 April 1926, and was educated at Upper Canada College and the University of Toronto.

1948

Ernest McCulloch received his MD in 1948 from the University of Toronto.

Upon graduation, he began his education in research at the Lister Institute in London, England.

1957

In 1957 he joined the newly formed Ontario Cancer Institute, where the majority of his research focused on normal blood-formation and leukaemia.

Together with his colleague, Dr. J.E. Till, McCulloch created the first quantitative, clonal method to identify stem cells and used this technique for pioneering studies on stem cells.

His experience in hematology, when combined with Till's experience in biophysics, yielded a novel and productive combination of skills and interests.

1960

In the early 1960s, McCulloch, and Till started a series of experiments that involved injecting bone marrow cells into irradiated mice.

Visible nodules were observed in the spleens of the mice, in proportion to the number of bone marrow cells injected.

Till and McCulloch called the nodules 'spleen colonies', and speculated that each nodule arose from a single marrow cell: perhaps a stem cell.

In later work, Till & McCulloch were joined by graduate student Andy Becker, and demonstrated that each nodule did indeed arise from a single cell.

1963

They published their results in Nature in 1963.

In the same year, in collaboration with Lou Siminovitch, a trailblazing Canadian molecular biologist, they obtained evidence that these cells were capable of self-renewal, a crucial aspect of the functional definition of stem cells that they had formulated.

McCulloch's later research was on cellular and molecular mechanisms affecting the growth of malignant blast stem cells obtained from the blood of patients with Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia.

1969

In 1969, McCulloch won the Canada Gairdner International Award with James E. Till in recognition of their development of the spleen colony technique for measuring the capacity of primitive normal and neoplastic cells to multiply and differentiate in the body.

This technique has been applied by them and their colleagues, and by many others, to gain important knowledge of the normal formation of blood cells, the behavior of leukemic cells and methods of treating leukemia, and other aspects of cell biology.

1974

In 1974, McCulloch became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.

1988

In 1988, he became an Officer of the Order of Canada and was made a member of the Order of Ontario in 2006.

1999

In 1999, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.

2004

In 2004, McCulloch was inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame.

He holds the distinguished title of University Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto.

2005

In 2005, he and James Till were awarded the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research.
