Updated: Professor Lap-Chee Tsui is the Founding President of the Academy of Sciences of Hong Kong. He is also President of Victor and William Fung Foundation, Hong Kong, and Director of Qiushi Academy for Advanced Studies, Zhejiang University, China. He was the immediate-past Vice Chancellor of The University of Hong Kong and, prior to which, he was Geneticist-in-Chief at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and University Professor at University of Toronto, Canada. Professor Tsui received his Bachelor and Master degrees from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and his PhD from University of Pittsburgh in 1979. He is world renowned for his research work in human genetics and genomics, notably theidentification of the gene for Cystic Fibrosis in 1989 and, later,other human genetic diseases while conducting a comprehensive characterization of human chromosome 7. He is also noted for his significant contribution to fighting the SARS coronavirus in 2003 and his role in leading the Hong Kong consortium in the international effort in completing the first comprehensive catalogue of human genome variations. Dr. Tsui has over 300 peer-reviewed scientific publications and 65 invited book chapters. He is the recipient of many national and international prizes, and a Fellow of Royal Society of Canada, Fellow of Royal Society of London, Fellow of Academia Sinica, Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Sciences USA, Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Laureate of the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame. He has received many awards over the years, including 15honorary doctoral degrees from universities around the world,the Order of Canada, the Order of Ontario, Knight of the Légiond'Honneur of France, the Gold Bauhinia Star and Justice of the Peace from the Hong Kong SAR Government ****************** OLD Dr. Lap-Chee Tsui has made major contributions in two areas of medical science. He and his colleagues have been instrumental in delineating the mechanisms of control of the formation of y-crystallin, a critical functional protein of the ocular lens. More recently, Dr. Tsui was the leader of a team which succeeded in the localization and clonal isolation of the gene for cystic fibrosis, a highly prevalent and debilitating human genetic disease. This work represents one of the most significant and remarkable achievements of molecular biology and human genetics in recent years. It will almost surely lead to preventive and curative strategies in the near future for a disease that affects a significant fraction of the human population.

Son nombre impressionnant de contributions intégrant génie chimique, la nanotechnologie et la biologie, contribue à positionner le Canada à l'avant-garde de la recherche novatrice ayant des implications importantes pour la protection de l'environnement et la santé publique.

Rosalie Tung has contributed significantly to theory development and practical applications of cross-cultural understanding and communication in the context of economic collaboration between entities from around the world in two important ways. Her seminal work in the selection and training of people for international assignments has contributed to the current explosion of research interest in international human resource management. Secondly, her analysis into the mindsets of east Asians as they affect management thought and practices has contributed to the development of theories of comparative management.

LONG A senior academic administrator and an accomplished scholar, Dr. Tuohy throughout her career has made a signal contribution to our understanding of the politics and policy making of health-care reform in Western industrialized democracies. Concentrating particularly on the health-care systems in Canada, the United States and Britain, she offers a powerful account of how and why, despite similar pressures, each country has followed a distinctive path. Her work offers analysis of practical importance for health-policy specialists everywhere, and important theoretical insights for scholars engaged in the comparative study of welfare states under stress.

Dr. Turecki’s pioneering work has played a major role in the understanding of suicide, particularly, how traumatic early-life experiences modify brain function through genomic regulation, which in turn influences the development of behavioural traits. His work has also shed light on molecular processes that occur in the brain of individuals affected with major depressive disorder and those that explain response to antidepressant treatment.

Le travail pionnier du Dr Turecki a joué un rôle majeur dans notre compréhension du suicide, en particulier en ce qui concerne la façon dont l’adversité précoce modifie le fonctionnement cérébral par la régulation génomique ce qui, à son tour, influence le développement des traits de comportement. Son travail a également éclairé les processus moléculaires cérébraux sous-jacents à la dépression majeure ainsi que ceux qui expliquent la réponse aux antidépresseurs.

Her collaborative work with Indigenous experts and her documentation of the richness and importance of traditional ecological knowledge make significant contributions to environmental planning and management.

David Turpin, Department of Biology, Queen's University, was the first person to definitely document the interactions between photosynthesis, respiration and nitrogen assimilation in plants. His careful measurements of carbon flow in photosynthesis and respiration during nitrogen assimilation and his measurements of metabolite levels in the cells allowed him to formulate a model of the interaction between carbon and nitrogen metabolism that is universally accepted. He has also shown that the ability to acquire limiting nutrients determines the success and structure of phytoplankton communities.
