Biographie

Le docteur Robert Killick-Kendrick débute sa carrière de chercheur au Nigeria en 1955 où il passe huit années à travailler sur la maladie du sommeil et les maladies apparentées, notamment sur les animaux domestiques.

Il quitte l’Afrique et rejoint la London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine[1] où il enseigne la parasitologie et poursuit ses recherches, principalement sur le paludisme de 1949 à 1955 puis de 1963 à 1969.

En 1972, il entame des recherches sur la leishmaniose et ses vecteurs (les phlébotomes). Il est alors à l'Imperial College London, Royaume-Uni, en tant que chercheur du Medical Research Council [2] depuis 1969. La leishmaniose se rencontrant dans les régions chaudes, il parcourt l’Amérique du Sud, l’Afrique, l’Asie et les pays du bassin méditerranéen où il est secondé par son épouse Mireille Killick-Kendrick, elle-même entomologiste. Depuis de nombreuses années, ils habitent dans les Cévennes gardoises.

En 1988, le Dr Robert Killick-Kendrick est nommé membre du Comité d'experts sur les leishmanioses de l'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé dont il est un des intervenants réguliers.

Très attaché à la figure de Charles Darwin, le Dr Robert Killick-Kendrick lui a consacré sa communication de réception à l'Académie des Hauts Cantons en 2008 [3].

• Membre de l'Académie des Hauts Cantons (fauteuil XX) (en 2008)
• Membre honoraire de la Turkish Society for Parasitology (en 2011)

Pour ses contributions à la médecine tropicale, le Dr Robert Killick-Kendrick a reçu

• la médaille Sir Samuel Rickard Christophers de la Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (en 1991)
• le Prix international Emile Brumpt (en 2007)
