Armand Frappier, (November 26, 1904 – December 17, 1991) was a physician, microbiologist, and expert on tuberculosis from Quebec, Canada. Born in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Quebec, the son of Arthur-Alexis Frappier and Bernadette Codebecq, his mother died in 1923 from tuberculosis. This greatly affected him and he pursued a career devoted to fighting this ''tueuse de maman'' (mother killer). In 1924, he received a Bachelor of Arts and, in 1930, he received a medical degree from the Université de Montréal. In 1933, he obtained a Bachelor of Science also from the Université de Montréal. In 1938, he founded the ''Institut de microbiologie et d’hygiène de Montréal'', the first French-language school of hygiene in the world, and served as its director for 38 years. It was renamed ''Institut Armand-Frappier'' in 1975. He was instrumental in the fight against tuberculosis in Canada and as one of the first researchers to confirm the safety and usefulness of the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine. In 1929, he married Thérèse Ostiguy. They had four children: Lise, Monique, Michèle, and Paul. ==Honours== * He was named Officer of the Order of the British Empire by King George VI, upon the recommendation of the Canadian government. * In 1969, he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada. * In 1985, he was made a Grand Officer of the National Order of Quebec. * In 1993, the Quebec government created the Prix Armand-Frappier in his honour, given every year to a scientist in recognition of his or her career. * He was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada * On January 17, 2000, Canada Post honoured him with a stamp entitled, ''Armand Frappier: Champion Disease Fighter''. * In 2012, he was inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dr. Armand Frappier )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Armand Frappier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
