Dr. John McKay
Affiliation: Concordia University
Keywords: Algebra, finite simple groups, computational algebra, representation theory, monstrous moonshine
[contact]
John McKay pioneered the field of computational group theory, especially the construction of characters and new simple groups. He discovered deep connections between group structures that have driven fundamental developments in finite groups over the past three decades, such as the "Alperin-McKay conjecture", relating irreducible characters of groups and their local subgroups. His discovery of the "McKay-Thompson series", relating expansions of modular functions to the characters of the "Monster" sporadic group, led to the "Moonshine" conjectures, proved recently by Borcherds. He also discovered a deep relationship between certain finite groups and associated Lie algebras, known as the "McKay correspondence", which has had many recent applications in mathematics and physics.

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.

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.
