2010 INDUCTEE James Hogg, MD PhD Lungs

James Hogg inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame

Calgary, Alberta

Dr. Hogg became the Director of Research at UBC’s Pulmonary Research Laboratories

In 2003, the laboratory was named the James Hogg iCAPTURE Centre for Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Research.

In the midst of a successful academic career at McGill, Dr. Hogg was recruited to the University of British Columbia, and particularly St. Paul’s Hospital

There he built a world-renowned centre for pulmonary and cardiovascular research.

Dr. Hogg became an Assistant Professor of Pathology at McGill University

Only four years later, he was named The Miranda Fraser Professor of Pathology.

Dr. Hogg traveled to the United States to pursue post-doctoral training at the Massachusetts General Hospital as a resident in anatomic pathology

He returned to Canada a year later and completed a residency at McGill in the same field.

Dr. James Hogg first published his revolutionary idea that the focus of COPD should not be on the large airways but rather on the smaller ones

Numerous ground-breaking studies followed—both his and those of other investigators—that verified the accuracy of Dr. Hogg’s hypothesis.

During his PhD program at McGill University, Dr. Hogg was thoroughly trained in lung morphometry, stereology, respiratory physiology and pathophysiology

He later expanded his experimental toolkit by learning the principles of molecular biology and high resolution lung imagining giving him an unrivaled set of skills.
