After post-doctoral training at the University of California at Los Angeles and the Laval University, he joined the University of British Columbia in 1982 as a faculty member. Dr. Leung has received a number of prestigious awards, including a Scholar Award and a Scientist Award from the Medical Research Council of Canada, a Distinguished Scholar Award from the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research and a Senior Scientist Award from the BC Children Hospital Research Institute. Dr. Leung has served on many national and international organizations, including as President of the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society, Director of the Society for the Study of Reproduction, Director of the Ovarian Workshops in the USA, temporary advisor to the World Health Organization, Fellow of the Canadian Academy for Health Sciences, and Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Dr. Leung’s research focuses on hormonal determinants of women’s reproductive health. His publication record to date includes 400 papers, 350 abstracts, 22 book chapters and 7 monographs. Since his appointment at UBC, Dr. Leung has served as the research supervisor for more than 100 graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and visiting scientists. Dr. Alan B. Adashi is a prominent academic physician-executive and former Dean of Medicine and Biological Sciences at Brown University during its 2007 renaming. He earned his medical degree from the Sackler School of Medicine in 1973, completed residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Tufts University, and fellowship training in Reproductive Endocrinology and reproductive biology at Johns Hopkins and UC San Diego. He holds an MS in Health Care Management from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Dr. Adashi served on faculty at the University of Maryland, University of Utah—where he chaired Obstetrics and Gynecology and founded the Ovarian Cancer Program—and Brown University. He is a former president of the Society for Reproductive Endocrinologists, Society for Gynecologic Investigation, and American Gynecological and Obstetrical Society. With nearly 400 publications and over 50 mentored postdoctoral trainees, his work has been widely recognized and featured in major media outlets.
