Awards for Dr Gunn!
Dr Gunn was the recipient of two prestigious awards this year.
1. On April 17, 2007 he was admitted as a Companion of the Guild of Cambridge Benefactors.
Dr Gunn was introduced as follows:
In 2005 Dr Gunn made possible the building of the much-admired Gunn Gallery in the Ward Library at Peterhouse. The Gunn Gallery marks the Library's coming of age. It has given Peterhouse one of the best and most beautiful of all College libraries. Dr Gunn's gift of rare, antique Chinese porcelain has added further grace to this inspirational space, much loved by College members and visitors.
A graduate and Honorary Fellow of the College, Dr Gunn has also funded the Tan Sri Gunn Lay Teik Studentship for a succession of Peterhouse graduate students in all disciplines, established in memory of his late father, who was a Peterhouse student in the 1920's.
Dr Gunn is a pioneer in the diagnosis and treatment of pain. Founder and President of the Institute for the Study and Pain in Vancouver, he specializes in treating chronic pain caused by nerve damage. Dr Gunn is distinguished for developing the treatment known as Intramuscular Stimulation, which bridges the gap between western medicine and traditional Chinese acupuncture. In 2002 he was names as a Member of the Order of Canada - the nation's highest honor.
Dr Gunn received this award from the Chancellor, Prince Phillip.
2. Dr Gunn was also elected as a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in London, UK.
Fellows are elected by other physicians who consider that they are eligible, having sufficiently distinguished themselves in the practice of medicine, medical science or medical literature.
The ceremony for this award will take place on July 24, 2007 in London.
