Prof. Philip Marsden
RSC Fellow, Academy of Sciences
Affiliation: University of Toronto
Keywords: Nephrology, vascular biology, endothelial cell biology
Induction Year: 2014
MARSDEN, Philip – Department of Medical Biophysics, University of Toronto
Philip Marsden has made key contributions to our understanding of how vascular endothelial cells
control the biology of blood vessels and downstream organ function. He cloned and characterized the
human genes that synthesize nitric oxide within blood vessels and defined how gene expression and
function of these enzymes is perturbed in human blood vessel diseases. He is recognized as a world leader in the
molecular biology of endothelial cells.
MARSDEN, Philip – Department of Medical Biophysics, University of Toronto
Philip Marsden a grandement contribué à notre compréhension de la façon dont les cellules endothéliales
vasculaires contrôlent la biologie des vaisseaux sanguins et ensuite le fonctionement des organes. Il a cloné
et a identifié les gènes humains qui synthétisent l’oxyde nitrique dans les vaisseaux sanguins et défini la
façon dont l’expression des gènes et la fonction de ces enzymes est perturbée lors de maladies des vaisseaux sanguins
chez les humains. Il est reconnu comme chef de file mondial en biologie moléculaire des cellules endothéliales.
C.W. (Toph) Marshall
RSC Fellow, Academy of the Arts and Humanities
Affiliation: The University of British Columbia
Induction Year: 2021
The tenuous job market of the 1990s, with sessional positions in five provinces, encouraged Toph Marshall to develop his practice-based research in the field of Greek and Roman theatre, focusing on stagecraft and how plays create meaning for an audience. With books on Aeschylus, Euripides, Aristophanes, and Roman comedy, he is now a leading scholar of ancient performance traditions. Other research has pioneered the study of classical reception in television and comic books.

Dr. Jacob Masliyah
RSC Fellow, Academy of Sciences
Affiliation: University of Alberta
Keywords: Oil sands, colloidal system, electrokinetic
The theme of Dr. Jacob H. Masliyah's research and development activities over the past two decades has been the behaviour of 'flowing particles and fluids'. His work has ranged from fundamental research in fluid mechanics to highly applied research related to the extraction of bitumen from the Alberta oil sands. He carried out pioneering studies on fluid flow and heat transfer from particles submerged in flowing fluids. His general correlation for the drag force on axisymmetric particles is now included in the most widely used handbook for chemical engineers. He also carried out extensive studies on heat and mass transfer from flat plates due to impinging air jets using double-exposure and real time holography methods. His work on flow through coiled pipes and ducts is well known internationally.
The most unique aspect of Dr. Masliyah's work has been his ability to bring rigorous analysis, based on fundamentals, to bear on his applied research projects. Over the last fifteen years, many of his fundamental and applied research ideas have been inspired by the challenge of improving the efficiency of bitumen extraction from oil sands using the Clark hot water process. He has made major contributions dealing with rotating tumblers, inclined plate settlers, flotation columns, and slurry behaviour.
His success in research has brought significant benefits to the oil sands industry, assisting in the understanding of the operation of existing plant equipment and providing definitive methods for the design of new plants. As a consequence, the industry's capability to develop and evaluate new oil sands extraction schemes has been dramatically improved. He has published about 120 refereed journal articles and a book on 'Electrokinetic Transport Phenomena'. He is presently working on another book dealing with 'Transport Phenomena in Fluid-Solid' systems.
