Dr. Frederick Longstaffe
Affiliation: Western University
Keywords: Stable isotope science, paleoclimate, bioarchaeology
[contact]
Frederick J. Longstaffe is one of the premier geochemists in Canada, and has pioneered the use of stable isotope geochemistry in several important areas of geology. In particular, he has combined stable isotope work and clay mineralogy to deduce the diagenetic history of interior sedimentary basins. This has been a prime factor in resolving the problems of fluid flow in these basins, and has had a major impact on both academic and industrial research in this area. His work focuses on a problem rather than on a technique, and he has been able to solve significant complex problems with an integrated but rigorous approach.
Much of his current research involves the use of stable isotopes to investigate interactions in the lithosphere-hydrosphere-biosphere-atmosphere rontinuum. Problems under study include water and carbon budgets, and greenhouse-gas generation in freshwater wetlands, and isotopic indicators of paleoclimate in ancient rontinental environments.

Gary Lopaschuk is a scientific leader in the area of how energy metabolism is controlled in the heart under both normal and pathological conditions. His research has clarified the molecular mechanisms responsible for the rapid maturation of fatty acid oxidation in the heart following birth and the high rates of fatty acid oxidation in the myocardium of the diabetic, as well as how excess use of fatty acids by the heart contributes to ischemic heart disease. Dr. Lopaschuk demonstrated that alterations in the control of fatty acid oxidation contribute to a number of cardiac pathologies, including ischemic heart disease, hypertrophy and heart failure, and diabetic cardiomyopathies. He has also shown that modifying fatty acid oxidation is a novel approach to treating various forms of heart disease. He is an inventor on a number of patents and has a prolific publication record.

Artur Luczak investigates how interactions between hundreds of neurons underlie information processing in the brain. He has shown that neuronal activity in the cortex is constrained to stereotypical sequential patterns. He has also shown that neuronal patterns are distorted in neurological disorders such as epilepsy. In pursuit of his research goals, he seamlessly combines animal model experiments with the development of sophisticated data analysis methods and computational models to explain how electrical patterns represent information storage and processing in the brain.
Artur Luczak est un jeune neuroscientifique extrêmement talentueux qui combine des approches aussi bien théoriques qu’expérimentales. Il s’intéresse particulièrement à la manière dont des milliards de neurones coopèrent pour produire les sensations et influencer le comportement. Il a montré que l’activité neuronale dans le cortex est composé de motifs séquentiels stéréotypés appelés « paquets neuronaux ». Ces paquets neuronaux sont des candidats sérieux au titre d’éléments fondateurs du lexique du code neuronal.
