H.P. Schwarcz has made numerous and brilliant contributions to geochemistry, quaternary geology and archaeology. Oxygen, sulphur and carbon isotope ratios have been used to interpret the history of metamorphic rocks, sulphide ores and, more recently, cave deposits. The innovative analysis of speleotherm growth rings to measure past climatic temperature, when caves were forming, led him to search for a way to measure their age. This was achieved in the establishment of the first Canadian uranium-series dating laboratory, leading to a series of articles with students and collaborators (notably D.C. Ford) recording climate changes back through the Pleistocene. These successes led in turn to his current collaborations with archaeologists, measuring critical deposits and artifacts to establish an absolute time scale for human pre-history. He has a wide diversity of interests and brings a fertile creative mind and a warm human enthusiasm to all his activities.

LONG Adel Sedra is internationally recognized for his scientific contributions to the field of microelectronics and in particular for his seminal research work on the design of analog filters used in communications and signal processing systems. By applying powerful analysis techniques to practical industrial applications, Dr. Sedra has helped to create new circuits and structures that are used in industry worldwide. Some of his notable achievements include the co-invention of the current conveyor, the development of low sensitivity structures for both active-RC and switched capacitor filters, and the development of a widely used filter design software package. In addition he has co-authored an internationally acclaimed microelectronics textbook.

Dr. Nabil Seidah was trained at Georgetown University in physical chemistry before joining the Institute first as as post-doctoral fellow and then as director of the laboratory on biochemical neuroendocrinology. Dr. Seidah is the co-discoverer of human beta-endorphin and has worked on its biosynthesis for four to five years demonstrating in particular the exact sites of cleavage during pulse-chase experiments. For this work, he received the Clarke Institute Award in 1978 (Toronto). He was the first to develop, in collaboration with the late Margaret Dayhoff, (in the mid 1970's) computer programs to identify protein fragments from data of partial sequence at 10-15 M range. Since 1979, he has tackled one of the most crucial and central aspects of brain chemistry which is the characterization of the enzymatic systems for the cleavage of precursors at pairs of basic amino acid residues. Only a few scientists have had the courage and the determination to tackle this complicated problem. He, Donald Steiner, Peng Loh and J. Thorner are the main leaders in the field. Even though the international competition was very high, Dr. Seidah is the first to have identified a new family of enzymes by reverse genetics which has all the properties of the cleavage enzyme. Dr. Seidah is a superb protein biochemist and he has added molecular biology to his wide expertise by spending one year sabbatical at the Pasteur Institute in Paris in 1987. He is now working on the protein aspect of his discovery and he is superbly prepared to bring it to fruition. Dr. Seidah is a chemist who has become an excellent biochemist and a world leader in his field. The new enzymes he discovered, called convertases, are at the crossroads of the new chemistry of the brain i.e. the neuropeptides. The cleavage of their precursors is a universal phenomenon which helps the brain to produce the tens of thousands of molecules it needs to insure his numerous and varied functions.
