ROGER, Andrew J. - Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Dalhousie University Andrew Roger’s work has led to an important shift in understanding the early evolutionary history of Life. He showed that the last common ancestor of all nucleus-containing organisms (eukaryotes) was a fully complex cell and that the eukaryotic domain is comprised of half a dozen major super-kingdom-level lineages. He pioneered the development of new statistical models of molecular evolution and computational methods for determining evolutionary relationships.

ROGER, Andrew J. - Département de biochimie et de biologie moléculaire, Dalhousie University Les recherches d’Andrew Roger ont eu un impact considérable sur la compréhension des premières étapes de l’évolution de la vie. Il a montré que le plus ancien ancêtre commun des organismes dotés de noyaux cellulaires (les eucaryotes) était une cellule complexe complètement achevée et que le domaine des eucaryotes comprend une demi-douzaine de grandes lignées évolutionnaires. Il a été à l’origine du développement de nouveaux modèles statistiques de l’évolution moléculaire et des méthodes de calcul pour déterminer les liens évolutionnaires.

Lon Rosen is known internationally for his studies in constructive quantumfield theory. His first work extended the pioneering treatment by Glimm and Jaffe on the [lambda phi 4 2] model (quartically self-coupled scalar field in two-dimensional space-time) to the [P phi 2] model for which the interaction is an arbitrary polynomial bounded below. Then his name became a household word among those interested in foundations of quantum field theory when the team of Guerra, Rosen and Simon wrote their famous series of papers on Euclidean quantum field theory as classical statistical mechanics. His most recent work concerns the Yukawa Interaction of a Fermi field and a Boson field.

Shayna Rosenbaum is a leading Cognitive Neuroscientist who has changed the way we think about memory. Through a unique approach that combines brain imaging with the study of amnesic patients, she has shown how different forms of memory are represented in the brain and how they contribute to other functions from decision making to social interaction. She has harnessed this knowledge to develop strategies to help patients overcome memory loss.

Dr. Janet Rossant merits recognition for her sustained and important contributions to the cellular and molecular mechanisms of mammalian embryological development. She pioneered the use of chimaeric mice to study lineage development in the early mouse embryo and was amongst the first to apply gene targetting approaches to create mice carrying mutations in important regulatory genes. She and her colleagues have also pioneered the development of novel approaches to identify and mutate novel genes critical to embryological development.

Gordon Rostoker, Professor, Department of Physics, University of Alberta pioneered many new and novel approaches to allow an understanding of the mechanisms leading to polar magnetic substorms and high latitude geomagnetic pulsations. In the 1970s he installed one of the first large scale, digital magnetometer arrays in Canada. Data from this array lead to a number of definitive studies of auroral and substorm processes. In the 1980s he devised a refined conceptual model of the substorm that lead to many innovative insights and showed that many of the older models could not be correct. In his current work he continues his focus on substorm models both from an experimental and theoretical perspective. He is actively exploiting the exciting new data from the Canadian CANOPUS magnetometer array, and using these data to develop a refined boundary layer model of substorms.

Professor Daniela Rotin is a world leader in membrane proteins and their regulation by the ubiquitin system, which controls protein degradation. Her work has illuminated how ion channels, ion transporters, and growth factor receptors are eliminated when required, to ensure normal animal development and health throughout life. Her cutting-edge research revealed that aberrant regulation of these membrane proteins by the ubiquitin system leads to diseases such as hypertension and cancer.
