Balzan Prize 2008 for Preventive Medicine, Including Vaccination
For his outstanding scientific achievement and lasting contribution to preventive medicine through his role in the development of a vaccine that promises to prevent virus-induced carcinoma of the cervix, which claims 250,000 lives every year.
Ian Frazer is Research Director of the Translational Research Institute, Brisbane and Research Group Head, The University of Queensland Diamantina Institute.
Frazer was awarded the Balzan Prize for Preventive Medicine, including Vaccination, in 2008; his Balzan research project has just come to a close after five years.
He used the funds available from his 2008 Balzan Prize to support two fellowships. The two fellows were initially based with Frazer’s group at the University of Queensland in Brisbane and worked on individual projects in the frame of Professor Frazer’s program aimed at the development of a “therapeutic vaccine” against HPV- induced [Human Papilloma Virus] cervical cancer. They were given the opportunity to visit other labs in Australia and internationally as part of their research projects.
Balzan spoke with Frazer earlier this summer about his project and the monies from Balzan.
