O'Byrne, Paul M. - Medical Sciences - McMaster University Paul O'Byrne is internationally recognized for his contributions to understanding the causes and treatment of asthma. His studies have influenced asthma treatment guidelines worldwide. ------------------ O'Byrne, Paul M. - Medical Sciences - McMaster University Paul O’Byrne is internationally recognized for seminal contributions to understanding the causes and treatment of asthma. Dr. O’Byrne’s initial studies challenged the previous concepts by demonstrating that asthma was inflammatory driven, and prostaglandin and leukotriene mediated. Building on these studies, Dr. O’Byrne developed novel treatments for asthma. Also, his work has explained the mechanisms of allergen-induced inflammatory responses. His studies of asthma treatment have influenced treatment guidelines worldwide. Seldom does one individual change the concepts about an illness and develop treatments that improve the lives of patients around the world. Dr. O’Byrne is such an individual.

Dr. O’Connor’s novel measures, frameworks and interventions have contributed to the emergence of a new field of ‘shared medical decision making’.
