The Institute’s Patron is Laureate Professor Peter Doherty, winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering how the immune system recognizes virus-infected cells.
More than 700 staff work on infection and immunity through a broad spectrum of activities. This includes discovery research, diagnosis, surveillance and investigation of infectious disease outbreaks, and the development of ways to prevent, treat and eliminate infectious diseases.
