Through their commitment to excellence, UBC has emerged as one of the most vibrant and inspirational places of learning and research in the world. Today, UBC is recognized as North America’s most international university, and we are consistently ranked as one of the top research universities in the world. It is my honour to introduce you to some of my distinguished colleagues whose accomplishments have recently been recognized with international and national awards. I am proud to be a member of this great community of scholars who apply their passion and intellect to shape our future. Professor Santa J.

The team received the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics for helping to capture a “baby picture of the universe.” The publications stemming from their work are among the most highly cited physics and astronomy papers ever published. Hinshaw was one of five team leaders of the WMAP team, which was recognized for accurate measurements of several key cosmological parameters, including the age of the universe at 13.77 billion years; the fact that more than 95 per cent of the energy in the universe resides in the form of dark matter and dark energy; and the notion that our universe likely began with a burst of “cosmic inflation.” Other recent awards: • Royal Society of Canada, Fellow, 2017 4 winning scholarship 2018 breakthrough prize in fundamental physics 5 2017 Rashid Sumaila Professor, Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries, and School of Public Policy and Global Affairs Dr. Rashid Sumaila is one of the world’s most innovative researchers on the future of the oceans, integrating social and economic dimensions with ecology, law, fisheries science and traditional knowledge to build

    Invited Keynote Speakers, Chairs and Vice Chairs

    Invited Keynote Speakers, Chairs and Vice Chairs Session 1 - Viruses: From Environments to Clinics Tuesday, June 19th, 2018 Keynote Speaker: Dr. Peter Palese, Mount Sinai, New York, USA Towards a Universal Influenza Virus Vaccine Dr. Peter Palese is a Professor of Microbiology and the Chair of the Department of Microbiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. His research is in the area of RNA-containing viruses with a special emphasis on influenza viruses. Specifically, he established the first genetic maps for influenza A, B, and C viruses, identified the function of several viral genes, and defined the mechanism of neuraminidase inhibitors (which are now FDA-approved antivirals). He was also a pioneer in the field of reverse genetics for negative strand RNA viruses, which allows the introduction of site-specific mutations into the genomes of these viruses. Chair: Dr. Keith Fowke, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB Dr. Keith Fowke is Professor and Head in the Department of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, University of Manitoba. His laboratory focuses on defining cellular immune mechanisms of the control of, and resistance to, HIV infection. Current studies include understanding how to block the negative effects of HIV to restore the immune response to full capabilities and preventing HIV infections by reducing inflammation at the genital tract. Vice-Chair: Dr. Peter Pelka, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB Dr. Peter Pelka is an Assistant Professor at University of Manitoba. My lab studies how a viral oncoprotein reprograms the cell in order to support virus replication. I use the human adenovirus as a model system to study how E1A reprograms the infected cell.

    Prospectus for a Major Assessment: the Return on Investments in Health Research

    Prospectus for a Major Assessment: The Return on Investments in Health Research: Defining the Best Metrics Prepared by the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences May 2007 WO The Return on Investments in Canadian Health Research – The Situation Investments in health research have increased significantly across Canada over the past decade. Naturally, and justifiably, with these greater investments come increased expectations. In addition, the widening diversity of stakeholders engaged in and/or supporting health research has led to a broader range of anticipated outcomes. These expectations include: 1] better health; 2] greater life expectancy; 3] translation of research findings into improvements in quality of life; 4] informed public policy on health related issues across the full spectrum of government and private sector activity; 5] new commercial opportunities within and beyond Canadian borders; 6] increased attraction of the next generation to pursue careers in health research and the health sector; 7] a better ‘state of readiness” for the unexpected threats to health that inevitably develop in the contemporary world. In parallel with these expectations, a confluence of factors has placed intense focus on understanding what return our society receives for the investments made in health research. Some of these include: • lack of public understanding of the value of research and its applicability to current issues in health care at a time of unsurpassed concern about accessible, affordable, high quality health care in a publicly funded

    Prospectus for a Major Assessment on Improving Access to Oral Health Care for Canadians Prepared by the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences March 2008 About the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences The Canadian Academy of Health Sciences is a non-profit organization composed of selected members from diverse disciplines both within and external to the health sector. It is both an honorific membership organization and a policy research organization. The Academy’s Fellows, elected on the basis of their professional achievement and commitment to service, are volunteers who bring their time and expertise to provide assessment and advice on difficult challenges of public policy of concern to all Canadians in the area of health and health care. Election to active Fellowship in the Academy is both an honour and a commitment to serve in Academy affairs. The Academy was created in 2004 and modelled on the Institute of Medicine of the United States that, since 1970, has worked outside the framework of government to ensure scientifically informed analysis and independent guidance on a variety of important public policy issues. The IOM's mission is to serve as adviser to the nation to improve health. The Institute provides unbiased, evidence-based, and authoritative information and advice concerning health and science policy to policy-makers, professionals, leaders in every sector of society, and the public at large. Below are examples of key IOM reports that have had an international impact on health policy: • To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health

    April 2011 to March 2012

    INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION ON REPAIR DISCOVERIES april 2011 to march 2012 1 Welcome from ICORD’s Interim Director While the search for a new Director of ICORD is underway, I would like to express my sincere thanks, on behalf of all of ICORD, to Dr. Tom Oxland, our Interim Director from March 2010 until June 2012. Tom led and coached ICORD with a great wisdom, sensitivity and respect for everyone which created a wonderful esprit de corps among us “ICORDians.” This was greatly helped by his strengthening of our relationships with our funding partners: the UBC Faculty of Medicine, the Rick Hansen Institute and the Rick Hansen Foundation, which all generously supported ICORD in the past year. We thank them all! Their financial support allowed us to venture into novel research areas with our Seed Grant program (see page 25), invest in skilled personnel to support core facilities (see page 7), start programs for monthly seminar speakers, visiting scholars and international trainees (see pages 8-9), and provide funding for Trainees to not only to travel to conferences but also to grow their own Committee and host an exiting research meeting (see page 12). I hope you will also take a few minutes to look at ICORD’s updated and revamped web site (www. icord.org). Our annual report is coming out a little late this year because our Communications Team spent the summer dedicated to the creation of this new site, which includes in-depth profiles of ICORD researchers and continuously updated PubMED links to their most recent publications. I’m honoured to be taking over as Interim Director at such an exciting time.
