2005 - Ernest A. McCulloch & James E. Till
Ernest A. McCulloch, FRSC, and James E. Till, FRSC, of the Ontario Cancer Institute are the 2005 recipients of the Centenary Medal of the Royal Society of Canada celebrating the continued contributions their research has made to stem cell research. Co-winners of the 2005 Albert Lasker Award for Basic Research, Drs. McCulloch and Till are recognized for their revolutionary research in experimental haematology. Their most prominent discovery, that of hemopoietic stem cells in 1961, was rapidly followed by a classic set of papers describing their nature and the genetics that control these cells. From this work they developed detailed studies of the nature of leukemia leading in turn to contributions on other forms of cancer and the care of those afflicted with the disease. Throughout, their scientific careers have been illuminated by unswerving efforts to serve the community and promote the highest ideals of health care.
2002 - Eric R. Kandel
Eric R. Kandel, Center for Neurobiology and Behavior, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, is a neuroscientist who has enjoyed a distinguished career investigating the mechanisms of learning and memory formation at the cellular and molecular level. Using the marine snail Aplysia Califomica as a model, he has used a reductionist approach to bridge the gap between the molecular biology and behavioral psychology. In a now classic series of experiments, Eric R. Kandel has explained the fundamental neuronal mechanisms underlying learning and memory storage at the cellular level. His discoveries open up entirely new ways of understanding human memory and its disorders.
2000 Nobel Prize co-winner for Medicine, Eric Kandel has received numerous international awards as well as 10 Honorary Degrees from universities in the Unites States and abroad.
