Professor Frazer, Head of the Epithelial Tumour Immunotherapy Program at the Centre for Immunology and Cancer Research, University of Queensland, received the Curtin Medal for his ongoing research in the field of immunoregulation, and in particular his ground breaking work on the development of vaccination against human papilloma virus which causes cervical cancer in women. "The implications for women's health globally are enormous" Professor Whitworth said. "Professor Frazer's work is an excellent example of the principle of basic fundamental research translating into clinical practice, and we wish him every success with this research".
