Michael C. Mackey FRSC is a Canadian-American biomathematician and Professor in the Department of Physiology of McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada who holds the Joseph Morley Drake Emeritus Chair. [1] [2]
He received a Bachelor of Arts (BA, 1963) in Mathematics from the University of Kansas and completed a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D., 1968) in Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Washington. [1]
He became a professor in the Department of Physiology at McGill University, as well as Director of the Centre for Applied Mathematics in Bioscience and Medicine and the Mathematical Physiology Laboratory. [3]
In 1999, he was elected a fellow [4] of the Royal Society of Canada in the Academy of Science. He is a Fellow [5] of the American Physical Society (2006), Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics [6] (SIAM, 2009) and the Society for Mathematical Biology [7] (2017). He was awarded a Forschungspreis by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation [8] at Bremen University in 1993, and a Doctorat honoris causa by the Universite de Lyon [9] in 2010 and the University of Silesia [10] in 2019, and was the Leverhulme Professor of Mathematical Biology at University of Oxford in 2001-2002.
His research focuses on the development of mathematical models, such as the Mackey-Glass equations, [11] to describe physiological processes at the cellular and molecular levels as well as foundational questions in physics related to the nature of irreversibility, entropy, and the arrow of time. He developed, [12] with Leon Glass, the concept of dynamical disease in which a parameter change in a physiological control system is hypothesized to lead to pathological behavior, and the use of chaos theory to investigate such possibilities.

James Harkness (1864–1923) was a Canadian mathematician, born in Derby, England, and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge with a B.A. in 1885 and an M.A. in 1889. Coming early to the United States, he was connected with Bryn Mawr College from 1888 to 1903, for the last seven years as professor of mathematics.
The study of the Theory of Functions received a new impetus in America through the arrival of James Harkness (1864–1923), a man who from his boyhood had shown unusual ability in the field of mathematics. At the age of eight he mastered the first book of Euclid's Elements without any help. He studied under Dr. E. J. Routh at Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating as eighth wrangler in 1885.
Pengfei Guan is a Canadian mathematician and Canada Research Chair in Geometric Analysis. He is a professor of mathematics at McGill University and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.
Santiago Schnell FRSC is a Venezuelan theoretical and mathematical biologist. He is the William K. Warren Foundation Dean of the College of Science at the University of Notre Dame, as well as a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences, and Department of Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics. Before this, he was the Chair of the Department of Molecular & Integrative Physiology and the John A. Jacquez Collegiate Professor of Physiology at the University of Michigan. He was also Professor of Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics at the same institution.
