Several faculty members have been recognized recently for outstanding contributions in their fields.

Biologist Zamir Punja has won the 2009 Canadian Phytopathological Society Award for Outstanding Research for his work in plant pathology and his innovative approaches to disease management on vegetable and horticultural crops.
Punja, an international leader in the development of genetically-modified plants, has one of the most productive and diverse research programs in Canada addressing both basic and applied aspects of plant diseases caused by a range of pathogens, particularly soil-borne fungi.
His outreach has extended beyond the scientific community to the public forum in which he has spoken nationally and internationally about his work. In 2003, Punja’s staunch support as a champion of genetically modified plants earned him SFU’s Nora and Ted Sterling Prize in support of controversy.
