Water
Institute
member
and
Professor
in
Biology,
Brian
Dixon,
has
been
selected
to
receive
the
2015
Robert
Arnold
Wardle
award
by
the
Canadian
Society
of
Zoologists.
The
award
recognizes
outstanding
contributions
to
Canadian-based
research
on
the
interrelationships
among
infectious
agents,
the
response
of
animals
to
these
agents,
and
the
environment
in
which
these
relationships
exist.
Dr.
Dixon’s
research
focuses
on
characterizing
the
immune
system
of
fish
at
a
molecular
level
and
understanding
how
environmental
stressors
like
disease
and
climate
change
can
affect
a
species’
immunological
response.
The
award
will
be
presented
to
Brian
at
the
society’s
annual
meeting
in
Calgary
in
May
2015.
Congratulations
Brian!
