Dr. David Granville
The Royal Society of Canada (RSC) has inducted Dr. David Granville, Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine into the College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists. Dr. Granville is among the seven UBC professors that were inducted into Royal Society of Canada, a new addition to the 91 RSC scholars to date.
Formed in 1882, the Royal Society of Canada’s primary objective is to promote learning and research, capture and celebrate the rapidly evolving intellectual landscape of Canada, promoting emerging Canadian scholars, artists and scientists at national and international levels.
Dr. Granville’s research has been focused on a family of protein-degrading enzymes known as Granzymes (Granule-secreted enzymes). His research has revealed a novel role for these enzymes in aging and inflammation. He is currently taking this research to the next level with respect to translating these discoveries into the development of novel first-in-class therapeutics.
