This week on The Sinclair Podcast, I sat down with one of the world's most influential scientists in antimicrobial resistance: Dr. Gerry Wright. A Killam Prize winner, Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and the man behind over 320 published papers and 56,000+ citations — Dr. Wright has dedicated his life to combating one of the biggest threats to global health: AMR. From leading McMaster's rise as a powerhouse in infectious disease research to co-founding a biotech and discovering new antibiotics from backyard soil — his impact spans continents and generations.
In this episode, we cover:
✅ What it takes to turn a lab discovery into a life-saving drug
✅ The alarming truth about AMR — and why it's one of the most urgent threats we face
✅ The legacy of mentorship — and the 100+ scientists, founders, and innovators he's trained
✅ His approach to leadership (hint: it starts by passing the ball, not holding it)
This is one of the most insightful and inspiring conversations we've had — tune in now.
