En tant que scientifique de formation et titulaire d\u2019un doctorat, je cherche \u00e0 comprendre le m\u00e9canisme de d\u00e9fense naturelle de nos poumons, nous qui respirons plus de 10\u00a0000\u00a0litres d\u2019air par jour. Je veux surtout comprendre comment notre syst\u00e8me immunitaire arrive \u00e0 d\u00e9celer la pollution, les allerg\u00e8nes, les virus et les bact\u00e9ries transport\u00e9s dans l\u2019air et comment cela peut occasionner des crises ou des maladies pulmonaires. J\u2019esp\u00e8re que mes recherches aboutiront \u00e0 la cr\u00e9ation de nouveaux m\u00e9dicaments ou de nouvelles politiques destin\u00e9s \u00e0 am\u00e9liorer la qualit\u00e9 de vie de la population en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral et des personnes atteintes d\u2019une maladie pulmonaire en particulier. Apr\u00e8s mes travaux de recherche, je serai professeur adjoint de m\u00e9decine au D\u00e9partement de pneumologie de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de la Colombie-Britannique, o\u00f9 je pourrai effectuer d\u2019autres recherches tout en enseignant \u00e0 des \u00e9tudiants du premier cycle en m\u00e9decine.<\/p>\n

\nC\u2019est pour moi un honneur d\u2019avoir remport\u00e9 ce prix pour recherche postdoctorale Killam et de joindre les rangs d\u2019un grand nombre d\u2019autres prestigieux laur\u00e9ats au Canada. Ce prix t\u00e9moigne de la passion pour la recherche qui m\u2019a d\u00e9vor\u00e9 pendant toutes ces ann\u00e9es et qui m\u2019a amen\u00e9 \u00e0 voyager au Canada et en Australie pour recevoir la meilleure formation possible. Ce prix r\u00e9compense tous les efforts suppl\u00e9mentaires que j\u2019ai accomplis et ceux de mes coll\u00e8gues qui m\u2019ont aid\u00e9 tout au long de mon parcours en me permettant d\u2019assister \u00e0 des rencontres internationales et d\u2019\u00e9tudier dans des milieux de recherche de calibre mondial.<\/p>\n
\nArm\u00e9 d\u2019une bourse, je suis venu faire des \u00e9tudes postdoctorales \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de la Colombie-Britannique en novembre 2009 apr\u00e8s avoir obtenu mon doctorat \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 McMaster de Hamilton, en Ontario. En d\u00e9m\u00e9nageant \u00e0 Vancouver, je m\u2019\u00e9loignais de mes parents et amis \u00e0 Brantford, Ontario, mais j\u2019avais la chance de fr\u00e9quenter un institut de recherche en pneumologie de calibre mondial, le Centre de recherche James Hogg de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de la Colombie-Britannique. J\u2019ai aussi fait la connaissance de personnes incroyables qui sont devenues des amis, des coll\u00e8gues de travail ou des mentors. Je ne voudrais rien changer car ma famille et mes amis en Ontario viennent souvent me visiter et je m\u00e8ne ici \u00e0 Vancouver la vie de plein air active et tr\u00e9pidante \u00e0 laquelle j\u2019ai toujours r\u00eav\u00e9.<\/p>\n
\nMon d\u00e9m\u00e9nagement \u00e0 Vancouver pour poursuivre mes \u00e9tudes postdoctorales m\u2019a permis d\u2019assouvir ma passion pour les activit\u00e9s de plein air dont la course en sentier, le v\u00e9lo de montagne, la planche \u00e0 neige, le camping et le kayak. La Colombie-Britannique et la r\u00e9gion de Vancouver se pr\u00eatent parfaitement \u00e0 la pratique de ces activit\u00e9s et l\u2019athl\u00e8te du dimanche que je suis peut facilement aller se ressourcer dans les montagnes apr\u00e8s une longue semaine de travail. Ce magnifique terrain de jeu situ\u00e9 \u00e0 proximit\u00e9 aide \u00e0 \u00e9quilibrer travail et d\u00e9tente.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
