  • Gerard D. Wright, PhD, FRSC, is a professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences, and Canada Research Chair in Antibiotic Biochemistry at McMaster University who studies chemical compounds that can combat antibiotic resistance in bacteria. He is also an Associate member of the Departments of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and Pathology and Molecular Medicine. Wright was Chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences from 2001-2007 before becoming the Director of McMaster's Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Infectious Disease Research. He is founding director of the McMaster Antimicrobial Research Centre, and co-founder of the McMaster High Throughput Screening Facility. Wright obtained his BSc in Biochemistry and his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Waterloo. He did his post-doctoral training at Harvard Medical School before joining McMaster University in 1993. Wright is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and the American Academy of Microbiology. He currently serves as an associate editor of , and he is a member of the editorial boards of Chemistry and Biology, The Journal of Antibiotics, Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, and Antimicrobial Therapeutics Reviews. Wright coined the term antibiotic resistome, which is used to describe the collection of all the antibiotic resistant genes and their precursors in both pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria. In 2014, Wright was the senior author on a study in Nature which described the discovery that the previously known Aspergillomarasmine A was a new antibiotic. (en)
  • Джерард Д. Райт (англ. Gerard D. Wright) — канадский биохимик, профессор кафедры биохимии и биомедицинских наук и Канадского научно-исследовательского центра в области антимикробной биохимии в Университете Макмастера. Райт является членом-корреспондентом кафедр химии, химической биологии, патологической анатомии и молекулярной медицины. В 2001-2007 годах он заведовал кафедрой биохимии и биомедицинских наук, после чего возглавил Институт исследования инфекционных заболеваний Майкла Дж. Дегрота (Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Infectious Disease Research). Райт является основателем антимикробного исследовательского центра (McMaster Antimicrobial Research Centre) и сооснователем Центра скрининга высокой производительности в Университете Макмастера (McMaster High Throughput Screening Facility). Райт получил степень бакалавра в области биохимии и степень доктора химических наук в Университете Уотерлу, окончил аспирантуру в Гарвардской медицинской школе и в 1993 году приступил к работе в Университете Макмастера. В настоящее время Райт является членом Королевского общества Канады и Американской академии микробиологии. Помимо этого он занимает пост заместителя редактора журнала ACS Infectious Diseases и является членом редакционных комиссий Chemistry and Biology, The Journal of Antibiotics, Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences и Antimicrobial Therapeutics Reviews. Райт исследует новые антимикробные препараты и изучает химические вещества, препятствующие выработке антибиотикорезистентности у бактерий. Он ввел в научную терминологию термин резистом, который используется для описания совокупности генов антибиотикорезистентности и их предшественников у микроорганизмов. Под руководстовом Райта была выявлена антибактериальная активность у полиаминокислоты Аспергилломаразмина А, продуцируемой грибами рода Aspergillus. Исследование было опубликовано в журнале Nature в 2014 году. (ru)
