McKAY, Ian – Department of History, Queen’s University Ian McKay, a highly respected scholar, a brilliant analyst and an award-winning author, is credited with changing not just conventional views of Canadian history, but the basic concepts of the field itself. His investigations into Canadian working-class culture, politics and Canadian historical theory have uncovered broader historical patterns and political frameworks that continue to inform the work of historians and social scientists, both in Canada and abroad, today.

McKAY, Ian – Department of History, Queen’s University Ian McKay, chercheur très respecté, brillant analyste et auteur récipiendaire de nombreux prix, est reconnu comme ayant changé non seulement les points de vues classiques sur l’histoire du Canada, mais aussi les concepts de base de ce domaine d’étude lui-même. Ses recherches sur la culture de la classe ouvrière canadienne, sur la politique et la théorie historique canadiennes ont permis de découvrir des tendances historiques et des cadres politiques plus vastes qui continuent encore aujourd’hui à guider le travail des historiens et des chercheurs en sciences sociales, aussi bien au Canada qu’à l’étranger.

Dr. McKellar has carried out distinguished work in many areas of high resolution infrared spectroscopy. He has studied can der Waals complexes of H2 and the rare gases, providing precise information on their inter-molecular potentials. Recently he obtained the first experimental verification of the presence of hydrogen dimers on Jupiter. He has developed the techniques of laser magnetic resonance and laser Stark spectroscopy using CO and CO2 lasers and has obtained infrared spectra of many free radicals e.g. FO, CH2, NH2, as well as molecular ions e.g. H3+, HCO+, HN2+. His work on the experimental determination of the singlet-triplet splitting in CH2 is especially noteworthy.

Brian McKillop has shown that Canadian intellectual history is not an oxymoron. In A Disciplined Intelligence and in a number of perceptive essays, he has analyzed the varied responses of Canadians to the challenge which Darwinism presented to traditional religious and humanist values. In Matters of the Mind, McKillop shifted his attention to the university as a central social institution and showed how Ontario universities have reflected and have also shaped social and intellectual ideas. McKillop has conveyed his careful scholarship and his perceptive insights in a clear and accessible prose, seasoned with irony and wit.

Professor McLean is recognized worldwide as Canada's most distinguished scientist in the field of physical chemistry of steelmaking. His philosophy has been to develop fundamental understanding of scientific phenomena and facilitate implementation of the acquired knowledge within production systems. Professor McLean's pioneering work on reoxidation reactions involving thermodynamics, kinetics and fluid flow studies has revolutionized industrial practice for the continuous casting of steel and led to levels of quality which would not have been otherwise attainable. Additional contributions have included the chemistry of oxide melts; plasma processing; sensor development and the net-shape casting of novel materials. He has authored over two hundred technical papers and six books. The numerous honours and awards which he has received from academic institutions and professional societies within Europe, Japan and North America, are clear evidence of the high regard in which Professor McLean is held by the international metallurgical community.

LONG Professor Bruce McManus is internationally renowned for his expertise in cardiovascular pathology and in mechanisms of human diseases. His laboratory was the first to demonstrate the extent and nature of lipid overload in the arteries of the transplanted heart that led to lipid-lowering strategies which have improved heart transplant survival. He was also the first in the world to draw attention to coxsackievirus replication, rather than the immune response to the virus, as the mechanism responsible for viral cardiomyopathy. He has also led the world in applying basic discoveries to the diagnosis of heart disease using endomyocardial biopsy.

McNAB, David, Departments of Equity Studies and Humanities, York University David McNab is a renowned Métis historian and a leading authority in Canada’s movement to Reconciliation. His significant and innovative research on Indigenous Treaties, land, and resource issues in Canada is facilitating substantial return of land and resources or fair value compensation to indigenous people by governments. A prodigiously prolific scholar, his acclaimed scholarly publications and technical reports promote First Nations’ and Métis’ stories in Canada’s narratives.

David McNab est un historien métis renommé et une autorité de premier plan dans le mouvement du Canada pour la réconciliation. Ses recherches importantes et novatrices sur les traités relatifs aux traités autochtones, à la terre et aux ressources au Canada facilitent le retour substantiel des terres et des ressources ou une compensation de la juste valeur aux populations autochtones par les gouvernements. Un savant prodigieusement prolifique, ses publications académiques et ses rapports techniques approfondis font la promotion des histoires des Premières nations et Métis dans les récits du Canada.

McNeil, Kent - Law - York University Kent McNeil has made outstanding contributions to the development of law and policy on the rights of indigenous peoples, in Canada and internationally. His work continues to be on influential source of positive change in the common law world. ------------------ McNeil, Kent - Law - York University Kent McNeil is an outstanding figure in the field of Aboriginal rights, both nationally and internationally. He has consistently demonstrated exceptional scholarly achievements in his transformative studies of the legal and historical foundations of the rights of Indigenous peoples in Canada and other Commonwealth countries. The impact of his research has been profound and wide-ranging, not only in the courts and the broader legal community, but also in the realm of public policy. His original research and publications position him among the most distinguished and influential legal scholars in the English-speaking world today.

John McNeill has made important contributions to several areas of pharmacological research. During the past decade, he has concentrated on the effects of diabetes on the heart. His laboratory has been able to demonstrate pathological changes in hearts of diabetic animals, which resemble the cardiomyopathies seen in human diabetics. They have made the important discovery that oral administration of vanadium salts can lower blood sugar and prevent the secondary complications of diabetes in these animals. This observation has opened up a whole new area of investigation. Dr. McNeill and his group are currently studying several synthetic vanadium compounds which have the potential to be useful therapeutic agents. It is possible that oral administration of these agents will be able to substitute for insulin injections in the treatment of diabetic patients.

McPHERSON, Peter S. – Department of Neurology, McGill University Peter McPherson’s discoveries of the key proteins operating in clathrin-mediated endocytosis have opened a new research field, the molecular machineries for membrane trafficking. His demonstration that inositol phospholipids function directly in membrane trafficking was revolutionary. He pioneered approaches to quantify protein abundance using mass spectrometry data and discovered a new class of enzymatic regulators in membrane trafficking. His studies have revealed key links between membrane trafficking and human disease.

McPHERSON, Peter S. – Department of Neurology, McGill University Les découvertes faites par Peter McPherson de protéines clés qui agissent grâce au processus de l’endocytose par clathrine ont ouvert un nouveau champ de recherche, les mécanismes moléculaires pour le trafic membranaire. Sa démonstration des phospholipides d’inositol qui agissent directement dans le trafic membranaire fut révolutionnaire. Il est le pionnier des approches permettant de quantifier l’abondance protéique en utilisant des données de spectrométrie de masse et il a découvert une nouvelle classe de régulateurs enzymatiques dans le trafic membranaire. Ses études ont permis d’exposer des liens clés entre le trafic membranaire et les maladies humaines.
