Ronald Coutts is one of Canada's leading pharmaceutical chemists. He has won an international reputation for the application of sophisticated physical and analytical techniques to studies of drug metabolism and toxicology. He is a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Chemistry and of the Chemical Institute of Canada, and was awarded the D.Sc. of the University of Strathclyde in recognition of his outstanding contributions. Professor Coutts has published nearly 100 research papers and many reviews. He has been in demand as a visiting professor and as a lecturer at international meetings. He is a superb teacher and has attracted a group of graduate students and post- doctoral fellows. Dr. Coutts has been a member of several MRC committees and is active in faculty administrationand in the University Faculty Association. At present, Dr. Coutts is especially interested in the biological and medical applications of the methods he has developed. Current research interests are: I. Analysis of drugs, drug metabolites, endogenous amines and amino acids, and environmental chemicals in biological (urine, blood, CSF, brain, etc) and environmental samples, and in foodstuffs. 2. Metabolism of numerous drugs in neonates, adults, elderly patients and animal models; microbial metabolism of various antidepressant drugs, endogenous amines and prodrugs; drug metabolism 'in vitro' using pure human cytochrome P450 isozymes. 3. Identification and effects of inducers and inhibitors of drug metabolism; pharmacologically active metabolites; drug/drug interactions.

Roger Cowley has an outstanding international reputation for the use of neutron and X-ray scattering to study the structure, excitations and phase transitions in condensed matter. His experiments have elucidated the novel behaviour of the quantum fluctuations in superfluid helium and low dimensional magnets as well as characterizing the effect of the fluctuations on phase transitions where they continue to provide challenges to accepted theories. He is a Fellow of the Royal Societies of London and Edinburgh.

Cox, David - Mathematical and Computer Sciences - Oxford University David Cox, after a period in industrial research, has held academic positions in Cambridge, London and Oxford, most recently as ?, Nuffield College, Oxford, from where he retired in 1998. His research interests are in applied probability, extended statistics and in applications of statistics in sciences and technology ------------------ Cox, David - Mathematical and Computer Sciences - Oxford University David Cox has been one of the world’s most foremost statisticians for over half a century. His pioneering research contributions include his eponymous survival analysis and stochastic process models. His work has had an enormous impact on statistics and on other areas such as medicine and public health. The breadth of his influence is exceptional, including major editorial and professional service. His contacts with Canadians as a supervisor and collaborator have contributed greatly to the advancement of statistics in Canada.

Long Citation Walter Craig is one of the world leaders in nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) and their applications, particularly as they apply to the mathematical study of water waves. He has made deep and lasting contributions to others areas of PDEs which are among the milestones in the field including Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theory for Hamiltonian PDEs through his work on the small divisor problem, and progress on the Navier-Stokes and Boltzmann equations. He is the Director of the Applied and Industrial Mathematics Laboratory at McMaster and has provided mentorship to an enormous number of young mathematicians through his academic leadership.
