Dr. Bernard Robaire
Affiliation: McGill University
Induction Year: 2013
Bernard Robaire is a world leader in the field of male reproduction. His studies on the impact on spermatogenesis of synergistic interactions between steroids are the basis for steroid male contraceptives. His pioneering studies of androgen action revealed the pathway by which androgens act rapidly on target cells. His groundbreaking research demonstrated that paternal aging and chemical exposures alter the quality of sperm chromatin and have adverse effects on offspring.

Harold Robertson has made pioneering discoveries in insect and mammalian neurobiology. One pivotal breakthrough was the discovery that neural stimulation leads to rapid gene expression in mammalian brain, which has been applied to studies of epilepsy, circadian rhythms and psychiatric disorders. Of critical importance to modern addictions research, he and Graybiel discovered that cocaine activates gene expression. His interest in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease using L-Dopa and neural transplantation led him to co-found the Halifax Brain Repair Centre, where his ideas are being applied to treatment of people with Parkinson’s disease.
Dr. R. Robertson

Dr. Robertson's field of activity in chemistry is the study of the mechanism of organic reactions. He has investigated the kinetics of aldehyde-amine reactions and also the derived parameters from solvolysis. The second of these investigations is the one that he has pushed most actively, and his most important contribution has been the demonstration of the regularity between structure and derived parameters for solvolysis in water. This has been a direct outcome of a series of determinations of accurate rates of reaction over a wide range of temperatures.

Roder, John Carling - Life Sciences -Mount Sinai Hospital
John Carling Roder’s main goal is to understand the molecular, cellular, electrophysiological and network interactions in brains that underlies cognition. Our animal model is the mouse. We have identified a new cognitive enhancer gene. Our work has relevance to human neurological and psychiatric disease.
------------------
Roder, John Carling - Life Sciences -Mount Sinai Hospital
John Roder is internationally known for several seminal contributions to neurobiology. He was first to demonstrate that myelin-associated glycoprotein is non-essential for myelin, and first to characterize mutants of several genes required for long-term potentiation (LTP) in the mammalian hippocampus thereby validating LTP as a neurophysiological correlate of memory formation. This work revealed molecules that regulate synaptic plasticity. He demonstrated that the protein DISC1 is a mediator of depression and schizophrenia in mammals. He demonstrated a critical role for a neuronal calcium sensor in LTP, providing the first potential link between curiosity, memory formation, and human mental illness.
Derek Roff

Derek Roff is a leading evolutionary biologist who has made important experimental and theoretical contributions to two areas. The first is the evolution of life histories, which deals with patterns of growth, reproduction and survival in different environmental conditions. The second is evolutionary quantitative genetics, which describes how selection acting on traits determined by any genes modifies the genetic structure of populations. Besides publishing over a hundred papers in the primary literature, he has written two books on these topics that are the most comprehensive and up-to-date syntheses available. Finally, he has applied his mastery of these fields to a range of practical problems.

This protocol is now the standard for external beam radiotherapy treatments throughout North America.
En tant que physicien médical, David Rogers a apporté une contribution déterminante à l’échelle internationale en matière de traitement du cancer par radiothérapie. En mettant au point des codes informatiques à accès libre, considéré de nos jours comme la norme dans le domaine, il a favorisé l’adoption généralisée des codes Monte Carlo en physique médicale. Spécialiste de la mesure de la radiation, il s’est fait l’ardent promoteur d’un nouveau protocole de dosimétrie basé sur des normes d’absorption des doses primaires. Dans toute l’Amérique du Nord, ce protocole est désormais la norme pour la radiothérapie par faisceau externe.
