主要成就
Dr. Challis’s research has uncovered fundamental processes contributing to both pre-term birth and birth at term. He has uncovered the role of different hormones in the birth process, and has developed the concept that in women, the control of labor results from local endocrine and paracrine interactions within the uterus and placenta. More recently he has made major contributions to our understanding of how adverse intrauterine circumstances can result in predisposition to disease in later life.Dr. Challis has published more than 500 scientific papers and articles and trained more than 80 graduate students and post-doctoral trainees, many of whom have gone on to hold faculty appointments at major academic institutions. He has held continuous funding from the Canadian CIHR (formerly MRC) since 1977.His work has been cited more than 11000 times, with an H factor of 55.He has been an Editorial Board member of leading journals in the fields of endocrinology and obstetrics, including Endocrinology, J. Mol. Endocrinology, J. Endocrinology, Placenta, Reproductive Sciences and Reviews in Reproduction.
Challis教授的研究發現了在長期內有助於足月前出生和出生的基本過程。在已有的概念中，女性主要被本身的子宮和胎盤內的內分泌和旁分泌作用控制。他最新的研究為我們對在子宮不好的情況下，會導致今後傳送疾病傾向問題的理解上做出了巨大貢獻。Challis教授已經發表了超過500篇科學論文和文章，培養了80多名研究生和博士後學員，其中許多人都在主要的學術機構工作。他曾連續過的加拿大CIHR獎金，目前他的論文被引用超過11000次，影響因子高達55，他一直擔任內分泌、婦產科、領域的權威期刊的編委會成員，這些期刊包括內分泌，J.分子內分泌學，J.內分泌學、胎盤、生殖生殖科學評論（Endocrinology, J. Mol. Endocrinology, J. Endocrinology, Placenta, Reproductive Sciences and Reviews in Reproduction.）
