Past Laureates
2023 | Dr. Nabil G. Seidah
Dr. Seidah is recognized worldwide as the scientist responsible for discovering and cloning seven of the nine known secretory serine proteases belonging to the proprotein convertases.
With more than 820 peer-reviewed manuscripts, Dr. Seidah is cited as the most recognized protease expert in Canada and sixth worldwide. As genetics and biopharmaceuticals continue to accelerate as research fields, Dr. Seidah’s discoveries will translate into improved therapies and personalized preventative treatments for age-related diseases.
2022 | Dr. Xiaowei Zhuang
With her pioneering work in super-resolution imaging and genome-scale imaging techniques, Xiaowei Zhuang, PhD, is making great strides in the area of molecular imaging of the brain.
Zhuang’s work in advanced imaging technologies has led to the development of a super-resolution imaging method, called STORM, which is used by researchers worldwide. Using STORM, she discovered previously unknown molecular structures in neurons and provided molecular views of many cellular structures with unprecedented resolution.
