Crespi, Bernard Joseph - Animal biology - Simon Fraser University Bernard Crespi studies the evolution of social cooperation among all organisms from microbes to humans. His current work focuses on the evolutionary genomics of social-brain disorders in humans, such as autism. ------------------ Crespi, Bernard Joseph - Animal biology - Simon Fraser University Bernie Crespi is one of the foremost evolutionary biologists in the world, renowned for both experimental and theoretical contributions. He discovered complex societies in an entirely new order of animals. His studies on them demonstrated the roles of both genetic relatedness and environment in the evolution of cooperative behavior. He developed and tested novel theory for the evolution of human mental illnesses. This work yielded the first robust predictive evolutionary framework to analyze the causes of autism, schizophrenia, and related conditions involving dysregulated development of the human social brain. His bold approach has conceptually unified distinct fields of biology.

Dr. Richard L. Cruess has established and developed the leading basic science laboratory for orthopaedic research in Canada. In addition, to stimulating an interest in research among undergraduate and past graduate students, Dr. Cruess has made important contributions to our basic knowledge of the pathogenesis and pathology of numerous musculoskeletal abnormalities including idiopathic avascular necrosis of the femoral head and the deleterious effects of prolonged administration of corticosteroids on bone and cartilage (a subject in which he is a world renowed authority). He has also investigated metabolic bone disease and lipids in bone with particular respect to Vitamin D and estrogens. Dr. Cruess is currently studying feasibility of transplantation of the epiphyseal (growth) plate in animals using microvascular techniques. His research has been consistently elegant, sophisticated and significant.

A. Claudio CUELLO, Professor, Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, McGill University, has made significant contributions to neuroscience and neuropharmacology, developing new techniques for the cellular and subcellular localization of transmitter substances in the peripheral and central nervous system and introducing new concepts in the field. His work has significantly advanced the idea that small peptides can act as transmitter messengers in defined neuronal pathways; that neuron cell dendrites might release neurotransmitters; and that new synaptic contacts in the cerebral cortex of lesioned animals can be generated by the exogenous application of growth factors.

CULLEN, John J. - Department of Oceanography, Dalhousie University John Cullen has made fundamental and lasting contributions to our understanding of marine phytoplankton. They have included basic and applied contributions in fields as diverse as development of ocean observation technologies; the environmental impact of enhanced UV radiation arising from ozone depletion; the science and public policy underlying ocean fertilization; and the ecology, detection and management of harmful algal blooms.

Long Citation Dr. Joseph Culotti has done pioneering work in the field of axon guidance for decades, leading to our present understanding of the molecular cues that control axon pathfinding. In an elegant series of experiments, Dr. Culotti has identified and molecularly characterized many genes in the nematode worm C. elegans that regulate the behaviour of axon growth cones. One of these genes, unc-6, encodes a secreted axon guidance cue protein, while unc-5 and unc-40 encode transmembrane receptors that mediate either repulsive or attractive responses to unc-6. This work has provided fundamental insight into the way in which an animal nervous system is wired up. Furthermore, it transpires that these same genes are involved in other types of cell movement; Dr. Culotti has therefore revealed a central process for directing cell migration. The genes originally identified by Dr. Culotti in C. elegans are conserved in evolution and apparently play a key role in formation of the mammalian brain and spinal cord. Dr. Culotti's findings therefore, have important implications for understanding nerve regeneration. Dr. Culotti's present work is focused on understanding the signaling pathways that control the cytoskeleton in the axon growth cone. Dr. Culotti has an extensive history of scientific achievement, starting with his earliest work in the 1970s that led to the first identification of the genes that regulate the eukaryotic cell cycle. He is among Canada's foremost geneticists and developmental neurobiologists.

Philip J. Currie, Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, Drumheller, Alberta, is a palaeontologist whose work focuses on the detailed anatomy, mode of life, and evolutionary relationships of dinosaurs in North America, South America and Eurasia (particularly China and Mongolia). His scientific studies have changed the direction of research in his field and pioneered new and fresh insights, ideas and theories about how dinosaurs became established and how they flourished in Mesozoic times. Currie's recent find, with Chinese colleagues, of bipedal dinosaurs with feathers in northeastern China virtually establishes that theropod dinosaurs are most likely to be the ancestors of birds. His discoveries on the evolution and life habits of Jurassic and Cretaceous dinosaurs have appealed to young and old.
