TIM MOSMANN, Professor and Chair, Department of Immunology, University of Alberta, has made significant contributions to our understanding of immune regulation by cytokines, the small secreted proteins of immune cells. He contributed to the discovery and molecular cloning of several cytokines, notably Interleukin 10 which his laboratory discovered as a result of his theoretical predictions. Dr. Mosmann's major contribution was the discovery of subsets of T lymphocyte secreting different patterns of cytokines that mediate the contrasting functions of these T cells in allergy and infectious diseases. This work has had a major impact on current thinking on immune regulation, and many therapeutic and vaccination strategies are being planned using this paradigm.

Parvin Mousavi, School of Computing at Queen’s University, has pioneered a field of inquiry for precise management of complex human disease and personalized computer-assisted diagnosis and therapy. Her innovative research uses machine learning methods on big data – from diverse modalities of medical images and omics profiling – to build comprehensive models for disease diagnosis and intervention, while uniquely incorporating patient-specific information. Mousavi’s approaches enable earlier detection and more effective intervention.

Parvin Mousavi, du School of Computing à Queen’s University, a été l’une des pionnières dans l’élaboration de méthodes de gestion précise de maladies humaines complexes, ainsi que dans les diagnostics et thérapies personnalisés assistés par ordinateur. Sa recherche innovatrice utilise des méthodes d’apprentissage automatique sur des mégadonnées – derivées d’imageries médicales et de profilage de données en « omique » – dans le but de construire des modèles compréhensifs pour le diagnostic et l’intervention, tout en incorporant de manière unique des informations spécifiques au patient. Les approches développées par Mousavi permettent une détection plus précoce et une intervention plus efficace.

A professor of Comparative Literature and Slavic and East European Studies, Edward Mozejko has taught literature in Poland, Denmark, and Canada, and distinguished himself with seminal books, numerous scholarly articles, and major editorial undertakings. His published research covers the period from Romanticism to Post-Modernism in Slavic and other European literatures. Besides a truly multilingual background and outstanding philological skills, Mozejko's work displays a rare blend of erudition, literary sensitivity, and originality; Mozejko combines knowledge of advanced literary theories with a strong sense of history, but he never neglects the particular features of individual texts. He is one of the foremost North American comparatists with a specialization in Central and East European Studies.

Long Citation (for publication and press release) Alfonso Mucci is an internationally renowned geochemist who launched his career with two highly acclaimed papers laying the foundations for evaluating the ocean's role in the terrestrial carbon flux cycle. Since then, he has made numerous widely cited contributions in the fields of geochemistry and biochemistry. He has, for example, revolutionized the application of spectroscopy in understanding crystal growth mechanisms, developed models for predicting metal behaviour in ocean waters and sediments, and identified the causes of the bottom water hypoxia which likely helped deplete the Eastern Canada fish stocks. In summary, he is an outstanding scholar/teacher and worthy recipient of the title of fellow in the Royal Society of Canada.

As Canada Research Chair in Language, Culture and the Environment and Associate Professor of Anthropology, Shaylih Muehlmann is renowned for her courageous fieldwork and gripping ethnographic analyses of one of the most fraught geographies in the world: the narco-corridor of northern Mexico, where the Sonora desert, the dried out delta of the Colorado River and the fenced US-Mexico border intersect to create a particularly rugged social geography.

En tant que titulaire de la Chaire de recherche du Canada en langue, culture et environnement, et professeure agrégée d’anthropologie, Shaylih Muehlmann est reconnue pour son courageux travail sur le terrain et ses analyses ethnographiques captivantes de l’une des géographies les plus tendues dans le monde : le corridor narcotique du nord du Mexique, où le désert du Sonora, le delta desséché du fleuve Colorado et la frontière américano-mexicaine se croisent pour créer une géographie sociale particulièrement rude.

Krista R. Muis is a Canada Research Chair Tier II in epistemic cognition and self-regulated learning. Her research focuses on how students’ epistemic cognition and emotions influence various facets of learning, motivation, and academic performance. She also examines how individuals process complex, contradictory content on socio-scientific issues such as climate change, genetically modified foods, and vaccinations. Her research informs classroom practices in mathematics and science learning across multiple educational levels.
