142:. Pearson is a dedicated mentor to dozens of students and is famous for saying, “no problem in science is trivial.” In 2015, Pearson retired from the University of Victoria and is now Professor Emeritus. Throughout his career he was involved as a director and advisor for several organizations including: Director, Science Council of British Columbia 1980-1986; Trustee, and Director, Terry Fox Medical Research Foundation, Vancouver B.C., 1983–1991; Faculty of the Canadian National Reference Service for Parasitology, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, 1984-1999 and Member of the board of trustees and executive committee, The Biomedical Research Centre, UBC, Vancouver, B.C. 1986–1991.

98:(IgD). The hybridoma technology was not patented by the British Government as it was deemed to have no obvious application and the anti-IgD hybridoma was thus traded to an antibody company in exchange for four bottles of fetal calf serum. As of 2017, the monoclonal antibody industry was estimated to be worth over US$ 131 billion. In 1984, Kohler and Milstein were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for developing monoclonal antibody technology.

Antibodies (SISCAPA), that allows quantitation of biomarkers in complex molecular mixtures such as human plasma. This has allowed a new mass spectrometric approach to longitudinal biomarker quantitation that is receiving attention worldwide as a diagnostic tool in health and disease. Pearson is the Chief
Scientific Officer and co-founder, with Dr. N. Leigh Anderson and Constance Seniff, of SISCAPA Assay Technologies, Inc.

Pearson received the
University of Victoria Inaugural Faculty of Science Excellence in Teaching Award in 1995, the Wardle Award for contributions to Canadian Parasitology (Canadian Society for Zoology) in 2004, the UVic Craigdarroch Gold Medal Award for Career Achievement in 2010 and the UVic Legacy
