Sergio Grinstein's is an expert on ion transporters and their roles in intracellular homeostasis, namely, the control of cell volume and of intra-cellular and intraorganelle parameters such as pH and calcium concentration. He has devised methods for the measurement of pH in individual subcellular compartments within living cells. These and other remarkable methods have been widely used by his group and by others to study intracellular homeostasis. He has also made important contributions to the understanding of how white blood cells are activated to destroy microbial invaders. Dr. Grinstein has published over 280 papers since 1974 as well as many book chapters and reviews. He has given numerous invited lectures at international conferences and is recognized by his peers as an international authority in his field.

Jean Grondin is a philosopher of exceptional merit. His research covers both the fields of modern and contemporary German philosophy and philosophical hermeneutics. From Kant to Heidegger and Gadamer, his analyses were instrumental in the reinstatement of original methodological and thematic continuities, and his numerous works in French, German and English have helped reshape our contemporary interpretations of the connection between hermeneutics and classical critiques of metaphysics. In 1999, he published Hans-Georg Gadamer’s first biography. This multi-talented researcher has achieved international recognition. In Germany, in fact, he is considered one of the leading interpreters of hermeneutics in the tradition of Martin Heidegger and Hans-Georg Gadamer.

Jean Grondin est un philosophe d'exceptionnel mérite. Ses travaux de recherche couvrent à la fois les domaines de la philosophie allemande moderne et contemporaine et de l'herméneutique philosophique. De Kant à Heidegger et Gadamer, ses analyses ont permis de restituer des continuités méthodologiques et thématiques originales, et ses nombreux ouvrages tant en français qu'en allemand et en anglais, ont contribué à réorienter les interprétations contemporaines sur les liens à établir entre l'herméneutique et les critiques classiques de la métaphysique. Il a fait paraître, en 1999, la première biographie de Hans-Georg Gadamer. Ce chercheur aux talents multiples jouit d'une reconnaissance internationale. Il est même considéré en Allemagne comme l'un des principaux interprètes de l'herméneutique selon la tradition issue de Martin Heidegger et Hans-Georg Gadamer.

International Francophonie Research Chair on Digital Health Technologies, Sylvie Grosjean is internationally recognized for her innovations in communication and health, particularly in the context of Canadian and international francophonie issues. She developed a co-design approach that contributes to the development of patient- and family-need-focused technological innovations, and her work on the use of telemedicine is helping to improve remote medical care practices.

Titulaire de la Chaire de recherche en francophonie internationale sur les technologies numériques en santé, Sylvie Grosjean est internationalement reconnue pour ses innovations en communication et santé, surtout ans le cadre des enjeux touchant à la francophonie canadienne et internationale. Elle a développé une approche de co-design contribuant au développement d’innovations technologiques en santé centrées sur les besoins des patients et de leurs familles et ses travaux sur l’usage de la télémédecine contribuent à améliorer les pratiques médicales lorsqu’il s’agit d’offrir des soins à distance.

Professor Isobel Grundy is an internationally acclaimed authority on eighteenth-century literature and on early modem women's writing. Her work includes an outstanding book on Samuel Johnson, many articles on early women writers, and hundreds of entries for "A Feminist Companion to Literature in English", which she co-edited. She had edited much of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu's work and published her biography. She is working on the electronic textbase and the volume on early modern women for "The Orlando Project's Integrated History of Women Writers of the British Isles". With brilliant archival work, wide-ranging scholarly knowledge, exemplary accuracy, astute interpretation and a lively style of her own, she has reclaimed dozens of early women writers from obscurity.

LONG CITATION Peter Grütter is a world expert in nanoscience. He has made seminal contributions to magnetic force microscopy and has contributed broadly to all aspects of scanning probe microscopy, particularly related to the quantitative understanding of the images produced. Grütter's group machines the tips of his scanning probe microscopes atom by atom, thereby permitting characterization, control and design at the nanometer scale. With this refined tool, he has made important contributions to the fundamental understanding of such issues as quantum transport, micromagnetic switching in magnetic media storage, and superconducting quantum vortices.

Long Citation (for publication and press release) Pengfei Guan, McGill University, is widely recognized as the leading researcher of his generation in the study of fully non-linear elliptic partial differential equations, a deep and central area of mathematics which has very important applications in geometry and in mathematical physics. His achievements include the solution of several long-standing open problems in geometric analysis, such as the oblique derivative problem for elliptic operators, which was first stated by Poincare in 1912, the higher dimensional Christoffel-Minkowski problem, which goes back to Weyl in 1916 and was solved by Nirenberg in 1953 in the two dimensional case, and the regularity problem for degenerate Monge-Ampere equations. Pengfei Guan has held the Canada Research Chair in geometric analysis at McGill University since 2005.
