## Bio

Peter Charles Doherty was born 15 October 1940 in Australia. His immune system research, conducted with Rolf M. Zinkernagel, earned them the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research in 1995 and jointly the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1996. The following year brought a sweep of recognition: he was named Australian of the Year in 1997 and appointed Companion of the Order of Australia in the same year's honours. In 2009, as part of Queensland's Q150 celebrations, his immune research was declared a Q150 Icon for the state's innovation and invention. He later took an honorary professorship at Trinity College Dublin's School of Biochemistry and Immunology in 2012, and carries the designation National Trust Australian Living Treasure.
