Leon Glass (Dép. de physiologie, Université McGill) est l’invité de la professeure Fahima Nekka dans le cadre des séminaires communs des axes « Pharmacométrie et pharmacothérapie » et « Découverte et validation de cibles thérapeutiques » de la Faculté de pharmacie. Le 6 février prochain, le Dr Glass donnera à la Faculté un séminaire, dont vous trouverez tous les détails en pièce jointe. Ci-dessous, une courte biographie du conférencier :
Leon Glass joined the Department of Physiology at McGill University in 1975, where he is now Professor and the Isadore Rosenfeld Chair in Cardiology. He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1994 and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (1998), the American Physical Society (1999), and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (2009).
Glass may be best known for his work with colleagues at Professor Michael Mackey, suggesting that certain physiological disorders may be considered dynamical diseases.
Leon Glass obtained a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Chicago studying theory of atomic motions in simple liquids. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow in Machine Intelligence and Perception (University of Edinburgh), Theoretical Biology (University of Chicago), and Physics and Astronomy (University of Rochester).
Glass is also a French horn player, and is part of the executive committee of the I Medici di McGill Orchestra, an orchestra consisting mainly of McGill University's medical students and professors.
Bienvenue à tous!
