Dr. Mitchell Halperin is internationally renowned for his expertise in and contributions to the clinical diagnosis and treatment of electrolyte and acid-base disorders. Through his creative endeavours he has changed our understanding of how the kidney regulates body metabolism. His contributions to education are widely acknowledged. Perhaps most striking is the fact that virtually every medical school in Canada, and many elsewhere in the world, are staffed by academic nephrologists whom he trained.

Professor Galen Pippa Halverson is a stratigrapher, sedimentologist, and isotope geochemist who interrogates the sedimentary and stratigraphic record to infer geographic, tectonic, and environmental information about the ancient Earth. He is among the world’s foremost expert on the era of Earth history between 1.7 and 0.6 billion years ago, an era that encompassed the assembly and disintegration of the supercontinent Rodinia and early diversification of eukaryotic organisms.

Il est la sommité mondiale de la période de l’ère géologique de la Terre d’il y a 1.2 et 0.7 milliards d’années, une période de l’histoire de la Terre qui inclue la formation et désintégration du supercontinent Rodinia, ainsi que la diversification précoce des organismes eucaryotes.

Edith Hamel is internationally recognized for her pioneering work on the regulation of brain perfusion under normal and pathological conditions. Her findings provided unprecedented information on the cellular basis of brain imaging techniques that use hemodynamic signals to map changes in neuronal activity. Her discoveries also unraveled the mechanisms of action of specific antimigraine drugs, and of cardiovascular therapies with memory benefits in models of Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia.

HAMEL, Edith, Département de neurologie et neurochirurgie, Université McGill Edith Hamel est reconnue internationalement pour son travail de pointe sur le contrôle de la circulation cérébrale dans des conditions physiologiques et pathologiques. Ses découvertes ont fourni des informations novatrices sur les bases cellulaires de l'imagerie fonctionnelle cérébrale qui utilise les signaux vasculaires comme marqueurs de l'activité cérébrale. Ses travaux ont aussi révélé les mécanismes d’action de certains antimigraineux et de médicaments qui exercent des effets bénéfiques sur la mémoire.

Par ses travaux sur l'histoire politique du Québec, Marcel Hamelin a su ouvrir des avenues neuves et apporter un éclairage riche dans un champ pourtant bien cultivé avant lui. Son ouvrage « Les premières années du parlementarisme québécois (1867-1878) » en particulier, manifeste une belle maîtrise du métier d'historien : documentation irréprochable, sens critique, esprit de synthèse, aisance de l'écriture. Parallèlement à une carrière professionnelle bien remplie, Marcel Hamelin a su démontrer des qualités remarquables d'administrateur universitaire qui l'ont rapidement conduit au poste de doyen d'une des plus grandes facultés de son université.

Qutayba Hamid is a clinical scientist that has focused most of his research in the area of the role of cytokines in allergic diseases. He pioneered the description of the association between Th-2 type cytokines and asthma and his work in the area has formed the basis for the generally accepted hypothesis of the pathogenesis of allergic disease. His contribution to this field has been translated to many therapeutic approaches that are currently in phase III trails including anti-IL-5, anti-IL-9 and IL-17. His papers are highly cited, more than 28000 times, and his H factor is 83.

Qutayba Hamid est à la fois un scientifique et un clinicien qui a consacré la plupart de ses recherches au rôle des cytokines dans les maladies allergiques. Il est le premier à avoir décrit l’association qui existe entre les cytokines de type Th-2 et l’asthme. Ses travaux sont désormais à la base de l’hypothèse généralement acceptée de la pathogenèse de la maladie allergique. Sa découverte a donné lieu à de nombreuses méthodes thérapeutiques actuellement au stade III des essais, dont l’anti-IL-5, l’anti-IL-9 et l’IL-17. Ses articles ont été cités plus de 28 000 fois, et son indice de Hirsch est de 83.

Professor Jean-Jacques Hamm has written on a wide variety of authors, themes, and critical approaches, but above all he is known internationally for his numerous books and articles on Stendhal. In theses studies he has applied novel methods of hermeneutics, psychoanalytical approaches, sociological critiques, and computerized analysis of texts. He has also been a pioneer in the study of parody in literature. Moreover, he has been a leader in his profession as an organizer of conferences, founder of research groups, and as an editor. Finally, he is an accomplished stylist in both his scholarly work and in his own creations.

Hampson, Fen Osler - Political Science (International Affairs) - Carleton University Fen Hampson has made a series of highly original contributions to the study and practice of international affairs in the fields of conflict management and resolution, international security, international organization and Canadian foreign policy. His work is widely recognized nationally and internationally as path-breaking. His outstanding international reputation as one of Canada’s leading international affairs scholars has resulted in him being called upon to play a key leadership role in a number of major international commissions and in the work of internationally recognized think thanks which offer advice to governments around the globe and major international organizations. ------------------ Hampson, Fen Osler - Political Science (International Affairs) - Carleton University Fen Hampson has made a series of highly original contributions to the study and practice of international affairs in the fields of conflict management and resolution, international security, international organization and Canadian foreign policy.

Dr. Hancock is internationally known for his research on the outer membranes of the medically important pathogenic bacterium, 'Pseudomonas aeruginosa' and other bacteria. His work is quite diverse, having produced over 200 peer-reviewed publications and 50 reviews to date. He is perhaps best known for his elucidation of a novel self-promoted uptake pathway across the outer membrane, for his model membrane and molecular genetic studies on porins and for his studies on small cationic antimicrobial peptides as "nature's antibiotics". His research has been well received and he has been invited to present more than 100 lectures at major international symposia. In 1987 he was the youngest-ever recipient of the Canadian Society of Microbiologists Award. In 1993 he received the 125th Anniversary of Canada Silver Medal. He was one of the first group of scientists to receive MRC's most prestigious Distinguished Scientist Award in 1995.

Professor Hanessian has made splendid contributions to synthetic organic chemistry. He has been a pioneer in the investigation of the utility of carbohydrates and other chiral molecules in the synthesis of natural products. The concept of 'chiral templates' which he developed, and which has since been used by many research groups, has been applied ingeniously by Hanessian in the partial or complete syntheses of such challenging targets as spectinomycin. He has received major national and international awards, and is a sought-after speaker at major symposia and conferences around the world.
