Gerard (Gerry) Wright est professeur au D\u00e9partement de biochimie et de sciences biom\u00e9dicales de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 McMaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M.\u00a0Wright est connu mondialement pour ses recherches sur la r\u00e9sistance aux antimicrobiens (RAM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ses recherches sur les antibiotiques, tant sur leur fonction et leur biosynth\u00e8se que sur la r\u00e9sistance \u00e0 ceux-ci, ont donn\u00e9 lieu \u00e0 de nombreuses \u00e9tudes qui ont fait date. Ces \u00e9tudes ont orient\u00e9 la pens\u00e9e et l\u2019activit\u00e9 dans son domaine et contribuent \u00e0 sauver des vies face \u00e0 la grave menace que repr\u00e9sente la RAM pour la sant\u00e9 publique. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 le premier \u00e0 formuler le concept d\u2019un \u00ab r\u00e9sistome \u00bb panbact\u00e9rien, qui englobe la totalit\u00e9 des \u00e9l\u00e9ments de r\u00e9sistance aux antibiotiques dans les communaut\u00e9s microbiennes, et pas seulement les agents pathog\u00e8nes humains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le programme de recherche novateur de M. Wright t\u00e9moigne de son engagement \u00e0 lutter contre la RAM. Ses travaux ont fait progresser la compr\u00e9hension globale des origines et de l\u2019\u00e9volution de la RAM et de son impact sur la m\u00e9decine moderne, et son laboratoire a mis au point toute une s\u00e9rie de strat\u00e9gies pour vaincre la r\u00e9sistance. Plus important encore, il a identifi\u00e9 de nouvelles pistes antimicrobiennes, notamment des inhibiteurs de la RAM et de nouveaux antibiotiques, qui mettent en \u00e9vidence l\u2019importance de ses recherches pour sauver des vies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En plus d\u2019\u00eatre un chef de file dans son domaine scientifique, M. Wright fait figure de proue dans les secteurs de l\u2019\u00e9ducation sur la RAM, des politiques publiques et du d\u00e9veloppement des capacit\u00e9s de recherche. Par exemple, il a cofond\u00e9 le cours interdisciplinaire sur la r\u00e9sistance aux antibiotiques, qui offre aux jeunes chercheurs, aux cliniciens et aux d\u00e9cideurs du monde entier une formation approfondie sur la r\u00e9sistance aux antibiotiques et la d\u00e9couverte d\u2019antibiotiques. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 plus de 30 ans de recherches novatrices, il a d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 un ensemble de travaux qui ont sans contredit orient\u00e9 la r\u00e9ponse mondiale aux infections r\u00e9sistantes aux m\u00e9dicaments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
