Dr. Michael G. Rochester of the Department of Earth Sciences at Memorial University has made a major impact on earth science theory through his research in global geophysics and planetary physics. In a long series of impressive papers, he has worked towards a unified model to encompass observation and theory on both the rotational dynamics of the deformable earth and the generation of the geomagnetic field in its liquid core. His studies have involved other planetary bodies as well as the Earth. His research has been based on a thorough mathematical analysis combined with data available from new observational techniques such as satellites, very-long-baseline interferometry, and sensitive recordings of Earth tides. His research has profound implications for astronomy and space science as well as the earth sciences.

Roder, John Carling - Life Sciences -Mount Sinai Hospital John Carling Roder’s main goal is to understand the molecular, cellular, electrophysiological and network interactions in brains that underlies cognition. Our animal model is the mouse. We have identified a new cognitive enhancer gene. Our work has relevance to human neurological and psychiatric disease. ------------------ Roder, John Carling - Life Sciences -Mount Sinai Hospital John Roder is internationally known for several seminal contributions to neurobiology. He was first to demonstrate that myelin-associated glycoprotein is non-essential for myelin, and first to characterize mutants of several genes required for long-term potentiation (LTP) in the mammalian hippocampus thereby validating LTP as a neurophysiological correlate of memory formation. This work revealed molecules that regulate synaptic plasticity. He demonstrated that the protein DISC1 is a mediator of depression and schizophrenia in mammals. He demonstrated a critical role for a neuronal calcium sensor in LTP, providing the first potential link between curiosity, memory formation, and human mental illness.

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.

The long-term outcomes of psychological disorders in childhood are significant, including unsustainable employment, lower socioeconomic status, and poorer overall physical health. Maria A. Rogers, Canada Research Chair in Child and Youth Mental Health and Well-being, is internationally recognized for her community-engaged research that advances the study of neurodevelopmental and mental health disorders in early life stages. Rogers’ scholarly and clinical work directly and positively impact Canada’s children and youth.

Maria A. Rogers, titulaire de la chaire de recherche du Canada en santé mentale et bien-être des enfants et des adolescents, est reconnue sur le plan international pour ses recherches communautaires qui font progresser l’étude des troubles du développement neurologique et de la santé mentale aux premiers stades de la vie. Les conséquences à long terme des troubles psychologiques pendant l’enfance sont importantes, telles qu’un emploi non durable, un statut socioéconomique inférieur et une moins bonne santé physique générale. Les travaux scientifiques et cliniques de Prof. Rogers ont un impact direct et positif sur les enfants et les jeunes du Canada.

ROOS, Noralou P. –Manitoba Centre for Health Policy, University of Manitoba Noralou Roos founded the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy and created a population database for understanding why some people are healthy and others are not. She received CFI funding to create Canada's first data laboratory and was awarded a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair. Citations to Dr. Roos' work place her among the top 100 Canadian scientists (all fields, all institutions) according to The Institute of Scientific Information. She was a member of the Prime Minister's National Forum on Health, the Medical Research Council, the Council setting up the Canadian Institutes for Health Research and awarded the Order of Canada.

ROSE, Jonathan Scott - Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Toronto Jonathan Rose is a world leader in the area of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays, which are pre-fabricated digital chips that can be programmed to become any digital circuit. These devices form the backbone of the Internet, cellular networks and many other systems that required digital hardware. Rose and his students have done pioneering work on the global structure of these devices, and the software algorithms and tools needed in their use.

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.
