Why Is Gerard R. Wyatt Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Gerard Robert Wyatt was an American-Canadian biochemist and entomologist, specializing in insect physiology. He is known for important research on DNA. Biography Gerard Wyatt, as a boy of age eight with his family, immigrated to Canada. He attended Victoria College but transferred to the University of British Columbia, where he graduated in 1945 with a bachelor's degree in zoology. He then worked for a year at the UC Berkeley laboratory of Edward Steinhaus, an expert on insect-transmitted pathogens. In 1946 Wyatt returned to Canada to work at the new Laboratory of Insect Pathology in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. From 1947 to 1950 he was a research student in biochemistry at the Molteno Institute in Cambridge, England. He received his PhD from the University of Cambridge. In 1950 he returned to Ontario to work at the Laboratory of Insect Pathology. Wyatt was a Guggenheim Fellow for the academic year 1954–1955. From 1954 to 1973 he was a member of the faculty of Yale University. There he did important research on the biochemistry of insect hemolymph and sugars and polysaccharides in insects. From 1973 until his retirement in 1994, he was a professor at Queen's University at Kingston. There he started an African migratory locust facility. In 1990 Wyatt became the scientific director of Insect Biotech Canada, with 25 scientists working as a team on insect control.
