Dear Colleagues,

We’re thrilled to share exciting updates from the Canadian Peptide Research Society (CPRS) and its founder, Dr. Grant Pagdin, a pioneer in regenerative medicine and peptide therapy.  Dr. Pagdin has long championed the responsible clinical use of peptides, and his leadership continues to shape the future of integrative medicine in Canada and North America.

Why Did Dr. Pagdin Start CPRS?

The Canadian Peptide Research Society was founded to legitimize the science and clinical use of peptides across North America and Canada.  With a growing body of evidence supporting peptide therapies, CPRS will serve as a central hub for clinicians, researchers, and educators to collaborate, share data, and advance safe, effective treatment protocols.
