Les travaux de recherche novateurs du Dr Herzog, un des plus grands experts en biom\u00e9canique musculaire, ont r\u00e9volutionn\u00e9 notre compr\u00e9hension de la contractilit\u00e9 musculaire. Ses travaux d\u2019avant-garde sur des sarcom\u00e8res isol\u00e9s ont d\u00e9montr\u00e9 que la force ne d\u00e9pendait pas exclusivement du chevauchement entre les filaments d\u2019actine et de myosine, comme on l\u2019a suppos\u00e9 pendant cinquante ans, mais qu\u2019elle \u00e9tait aussi fortement tributaire de la titine, une prot\u00e9ine structurelle du muscle. Sa perc\u00e9e en recherche a ouvert de nouveaux horizons, remplac\u00e9 de vieilles croyances sur la contractilit\u00e9 et influenc\u00e9 la pens\u00e9e clinique sur la fonction musculaire.<\/p>\n

\nLa Chaire comm\u00e9morative Killam est consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme la chaire multidisciplinaire la plus prestigieuse de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Calgary. Il va sans dire que je suis \u00e0 la fois extr\u00eamement honor\u00e9 et touch\u00e9 par ce prix et la possibilit\u00e9 qu\u2019il m\u2019offre de poursuivre mes travaux dans mes domaines de recherche et dans un environnement favorable et privil\u00e9gi\u00e9.<\/p>\n
\nLes fonds Killam m\u2019ont aid\u00e9 de nombreuses fa\u00e7ons. L\u2019universit\u00e9 m\u2019a d\u00e9cern\u00e9 plusieurs bourses de recherche Killam qui m\u2019ont permis d\u2019\u00e9crire deux ouvrages scientifiques. Le Conseil des arts du Canada m\u2019a \u00e9galement octroy\u00e9 une bourse de recherche Killam, qui m\u2019a permis de me consacrer exclusivement \u00e0 la recherche pendant deux ans en me lib\u00e9rant des t\u00e2ches d\u2019enseignement et d\u2019administration. Ce dernier prix m\u2019a \u00e9t\u00e9 remis \u00e0 point nomm\u00e9 alors que mon laboratoire \u00e9tait en train de d\u00e9velopper des technologies de pointe qui nous ont permis d\u2019effectuer les tout premiers travaux de recherche sur les contractions dynamiques de sarcom\u00e8res isol\u00e9s et d\u2019observer le fonctionnement de cellules vivantes dans des articulations intactes. Ces approches nous ont fourni des donn\u00e9es qui ont chang\u00e9 la fa\u00e7on de penser des scientifiques dans ces domaines. J\u2019ai \u00e9galement profit\u00e9 des bourses d\u2019\u00e9tudes de mes \u00e9tudiants de deuxi\u00e8me cycle. De plus, la Chaire comm\u00e9morative Killam a stabilis\u00e9 ma situation financi\u00e8re, ce qui me permet de planifier m\u00e9thodiquement ma recherche sur un horizon de dix ans ou plus, ce qui aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 impossible autrement.<\/p>\n
\nJ\u2019ai int\u00e9gr\u00e9 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Calgary en raison de la promesse du doyen de la Facult\u00e9 de kin\u00e9siologie (ant\u00e9rieurement Facult\u00e9 d\u2019\u00e9ducation physique), Roger Jackson, et du directeur du Laboratoire de performance humaine (Benno Nigg) d\u2019en faire un des meilleurs centres de recherche au monde. Apr\u00e8s son stage postdoctoral, le doyen de l\u2019\u00e9poque, Warren Veale, m\u2019a offert un poste de professeur en kin\u00e9siologie. Dr Veale \u00e9tait un grand visionnaire en mati\u00e8re de recherche kin\u00e9siologique au sein des universit\u00e9s. Le doyen Ron Zernicke, qui a ensuite pris la rel\u00e8ve, \u00e9tait un fervent d\u00e9fenseur des mes travaux. La raison pour laquelle je suis venu \u00e0 Calgary et que j\u2019y suis finalement rest\u00e9 est donc directement li\u00e9e au leadership formidable de la facult\u00e9 au cours de mes vingt premi\u00e8res ann\u00e9es de carri\u00e8re.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
