Dr. Cass is internationally recognized for her research on membrane transport of nucleosides and nucleoside drugs. Her important early studies on nucleoside transport in human erythrocytes laid the foundation for the field and her subsequent studies of nucleoside transport deficiencies established that functional membrane transporters are essential for manifestation of cytotoxicity of many nucleoside drugs.

The work of R.V.S. Chacon deals with probability and ergodic theory. His papers are characterized by outstanding originality and clever ingenuity. He has solved difficult outstanding problems. Among these achievements is a complete answer to a deep conjecture of E. Hopf of 1954 in the Chacon-Ornstein ergodic theorem. In answer to a question of Halmos he has constructed a 1-1 measure preserving transformation of the unit interval into itself which has a continuous spectrum, no non-singular square root and is not strongly mixing in the ergodic sense. Much of his work contains promise of interesting subsequent development, some of which has already been realized in the rather large number of his joint papers.

Dr. John Challis, Director of the Medical Research Council Group in Fetal and Neonatal Health and Development, is an international leader in reproductive biology. He has made very substantial contributions to an understanding of the endocrinology of pregnancy and parturition, and of fetal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal development. This has been done by pursuing the general hypothesis that birth is initiated through the sequential maturation of an endocrine organ communication system, beginning with the fetal hypothalamic - hypophyseal adrenal axis, and with subsequent influences on intra-uterine hormone production, and myometrial contractility. John Challis has used very effectively a comparative approach in studies of sheep, monkey and humans that provide advances of a fundamental and theoretical nature that have major clinical relevance. Dr. Challis was elected as President of the Canadian Physiological Society and received a number of awards including the G. Malcolm Brown Memorial Award of CFBS and the President's Scientific Achievement Award of the Society for Gynaecologic Investigation.

Chamberlain, Savvas - Engineering – DALSA Savvas Chamberlain can be characterized as a scientist, inventor, Professor and entrepreneur. His research on semiconductor devices, his basic charge transfer theories on CCD’s and time-delay integration-imager, and the transfer of his technology to commercialization, are all well recognized internationally. Founder of DALSA Corp and growing it to more than 1000 employees are also noted achievements. ------------------ Chamberlain, Savvas - Engineering - DALSA Sawas Chamberlain is the Chainnan and Founder of DALSA Corporation (www.dalsa.com), a leading Canadian high-performance semiconductor and electronics company specializing in digital imaging, with more than1000 employees worldwide. Before founding DALSA, Savvas was a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo. He was instrumental in putting the department and the Faculty on the academic international map. He has published over 150 papers and conference proceedings on charge-coupled devices, semiconductor devices, and metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors. He has authored and co-authored more than 20 patents. His basic theories on charge transfer in CCD’s in 1980’s let to the and commercialization of high speed image sensor devices. His research work on the CCD TDI image sensor device led to the commercialization of high speed and high responsivity imagers for industrial application. Dr. Chamberlain is a generous supporter of engineering education, the arts, and charitable organizations in the Kitchener-Waterloo region of Ontario. Savvas is a member of the Order of Canada.

Savvas Chamberlain est à la fois un scientifique, un inventeur, un professeur et un entrepreneur. Ses recherches sur les dispositifs à semiconducteurs, ses théories sur le transfert de la charge dans les dispositifs à couplage de charges, la mise au point de l’imagerie par intégration temporelle et la commercialisation de cette technologie l’ont fait connaître sur le plan international. Il est également le fondateur de DALSA Corp, qui compte aujourd’hui plus de 1000 employés

Tak-Hang Chan has pioneered in the development of new organic reactions and new synthetic methodologies. His imaginative use of organosilicon compounds has led to convenient syntheses of plant growth regulators, carbohydrates, and spruce budworm pheromones and insect anti-feedants. He has introduced reagents containing fluorine, tin, sulfur, selenium, indium, and many other elements into organic chemistry and made many otherwise difficult reactions possible. Recently he has discovered how to carry out some organometallic reactions in water, instead of using anhydrous solvents. Such reactions are likely to have a strong impact in organic synthesis. His work is making a host of strained and otherwise inaccessible molecules available by synthesis, and is being discovered and utilized by a world-wide community of chemists.

LONG Thomas Chang was the first to invent the concept for replacement of cell functions using "artificial cells" (Science 1964; Nature 1968, 1971). This concept is being widely used. His polyhemoglobin as blood substitute is in Phase III clinical trials in North America and used routinely in South Africa. He is working on novel blood substitutes for ischemia-reperfusion conditions (Nature Biotechnology 1998) and nano-dimension artificial red blood cells. His hemoperfusion is in routine use for acute poisoning worldwide. His study on enzyme therapy (Nature 1968, 1971) is being developed for phenylketonuria. His idea of "cell encapsulation" is being explored worldwide for diabetes, liver failure, genetic diseases and others (Nature Medicine 2003) - including his work for uremia (Nature Medicine 1996, 1997). It is also used for drug delivery and other applications. SHORT Thomas Chang was the first to invent the concept of "artificial cells" that is now widely used.

Neena Lane Chappell, Centre on Aging, University of Victoria, has made outstanding contributions to social gerontology and to debates on health services and health policy. Her research on social support has documented the major, but insufficiently recognized, work done by women as providers of informal care to older adults. Her empirical investigations have shown that care-giving includes emotional and supportive social relationships, and that there are differences in the experiences of men and women who give and receive care. She has also developed valuable research methods for the rigorous evaluation of various health programs designed for an aging population.
