Health researchers recognized for outstanding contributions 2011 September 16
"It's always a great honour to have one's work recognized by election
to an Academy like the CAHS, but I'm acutely aware that this honour
would not have happened without the tremendous contributions of the
students and postdoctoral fellows who've been part of my research
group over the years," says Dr. Cole, professor in the Department of
Biomedical and Molecular Sciences, Canada Research Chair in Cancer
Biology, and Queens' deputy provost.
Dr. Cole's research focuses on the investigation of mechanisms of
resistance to natural product drugs that may be relevant to lung
cancer and other human tumors.
Dr. Lillicrap, a professor in the Department of Pathology and
Molecular Medicine and Canada Research Chair in Molecular Hemostasis,
specializes in the molecular aspects of the blood coagulation system.
His research projects range from an investigation of the mechanisms
regulating production of the protein von Willebrand factor, to the
development of gene therapy strategies for the inherited bleeding
disease hemophilia.
CAHS fellows are individuals who have a history of outstanding
performance in the academic health sciences in Canada and who are
recognized by their peers nationally and internationally for their
contributions to the field.
