Hamilton's research-intensive university that invented problem-based medical education and leads the world in evidence-based medicine.
11 professors and academic leaders celebrated so far, cited on every card. A small, growing selection, not a roster of the faculty. In pursuit of every professor, everywhere.
President and Vice-Chancellor
Office of the President
Thank you for stepping from provost to president as McMaster's ninth leader, bringing a pavement engineer's insistence that great institutions, like great roads, are built to carry everyone.
Professor of Medicine; Marion W. Burke Chair in Cardiovascular Disease
Department of Medicine; Population Health Research Institute
Thank you for the enormous international trials and the PURE study that changed how the whole world prevents heart disease, proving that the best cardiology serves every country, not just the wealthy ones.
Distinguished University Professor, Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence and Impact
Health Research Methods, Evidence and Impact
Thank you for coining evidence-based medicine and then spending three decades making it real, from the Users' Guides to GRADE, so that patients everywhere are treated according to what actually works.
Distinguished University Professor; Canada Research Chair of Research Transfer in Intensive Care
Department of Medicine
Thank you for practice-changing trials that made intensive care safer for the sickest patients on earth, and for research on dying with dignity that brought humanity to the ICU's hardest hours.
Professor, Kinesiology
Department of Kinesiology
Thank you for proving that one minute of hard effort can change a body, and for translating rigorous muscle physiology into workouts that busy people actually do.
Distinguished University Professor and Chair, Department of Kinesiology; Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Skeletal Muscle Health
Department of Kinesiology
Thank you for the protein and resistance-training science that helps older adults keep their strength and independence, evidence that aging muscles are worth fighting for at every age.
McMaster University Chair for Scholarship in the Public Interest
English and Cultural Studies
Thank you for a lifetime of insisting that education is the practice of freedom, and for writing prolifically for the public square when it would have been easier to write only for the academy.
Dean, Faculty of Engineering; Professor, Chemical Engineering
Chemical Engineering
Thank you for biomaterials that deliver medicine gently to the eye, sparing patients endless drops and injections, and for leading McMaster engineering with a builder's optimism.
Dean, Faculty of Science; Professor, Chemistry and Chemical Biology
Chemistry and Chemical Biology
Thank you for using magnetic resonance to watch ions move inside working batteries, and for leading McMaster science while keeping a working lab pointed at the energy storage the world needs.
Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy; Associate Faculty Member, Perimeter Institute
Physics and Astronomy
Thank you for teaching physicists everywhere to think in effective field theories, and for carrying ideas between Hamilton and the Perimeter Institute so Canadian theory punches far above its weight.
Professor Emeritus, Earth, Environment and Society
School of Earth, Environment and Society
Thank you for teaching archaeology to read isotopes, dating ancient sites and reconstructing the diets of early humans from their very bones, a toolkit whole fields now rely on.
