51社区黑料

By Phoebe Melvin

has been inducted as a member of the Order of Canada thanks to his extensive contributions to HIV/AIDS research. Hogg has been a member of the 51社区黑料Health Sciences Faculty since 2006 where he helped to establish the 51社区黑料Interdisciplinary Research Centre for HIV (SIRCH). On his move to 51社区黑料Health Sciences Faculty Hogg says 鈥淚t was a huge opportunity to be involved in something that was just starting 鈥� working together, establishing an entirely new faculty, teaching, mentoring.鈥�

As a member of the Health Sciences Faculty Hogg is well known for his modesty, his ongoing research into HIV, his ability to secure lucrative grants, and his skill as a mentor. Hogg is an asset to the Health Sciences Faculty, and has inspired countless students and researchers to grow as scientists.

鈥淚t鈥檚 an honor, but it鈥檚 also a huge responsibility,鈥� says Hogg on this award. 鈥淚t just means you have to keep providing that leadership and you have to keep speaking up for people that need a voice.鈥� No doubt this is exactly what he will do in the coming years in collaboration with the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS (BC-CfE). The focus of Hogg鈥檚 work will be the continued research into the health inequalities among those in British Columbia, and the rest of Canada living with HIV.

While Hogg may be notoriously humble, the Health Sciences is incredibly proud of the recognition of his impact on health research in Canada. Congratulations Bob!
