Eligibility	Dr. Mark Nickerson, a world-renowned pharmacologist, joined the University of Manitoba in 1954 and was appointed the first Professor and Head of the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics. He developed a modern course in Pharmacology and Therapeutics, and established it as an important discipline in the undergraduate medical curriculum. Dr. Nickerson recruited several world-class pharmacologists over a short period of time to establish the Department as a leader both nationally and internationally in the field of Pharmacology and Therapeutics. He was the primary driving force in the design and construction of a new building for Pharmacology, The Chown Building, which opened in 1965, and remains the home of the Department. This studentship has been established as a lasting tribute to his energy and vision in developing the discipline of Pharmacology and Therapeutics in Canada.
