AllerGen’s Scientific Director appointed as Canadian Academy of Health Sciences Fellow
Dr. Judah Denburg, Scientific Director and CEO of AllerGen, was inducted as a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS) at the CAHS Annual General Meeting in Montreal on September 15, 2016.
Election to fellowship in the CAHS represents one of the highest honours for members of the Canadian health sciences community. CAHS Fellows are recognized for their innovative leadership, research excellence and commitment to advancing academic health science.
In a separate honour, Dr. Denburg was appointed the William J. Walsh Chair in Medicine of the Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster University. The chair is named for William Walsh, a founding father of McMaster’s Faculty of Health Sciences and an active and trusted physician in Hamilton for many years.
“Judah is among McMaster’s most accomplished scholars and teachers,” says Dr. Paul O’Byrne, Dean and Vice-President of the Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster.
“His CAHS Fellowship, as well as the Endowed Chair, recognize the importance of Judah’s commitment to teaching, research and service, and will allow him to pursue critically important areas of study and to recruit and nurture the next generation of researchers.”
