We are thrilled that
Professor Ian Frazer, CEO of the Translational Research Institute,
has accepted our invitation to deliver the keynote address at the
second Global Health Research Congress. Dr. Frazer was

the development of Cervical Cancer vaccines.
He was trained as a renal physician and clinical immunologist in
Edinburgh, Scotland before emigrating in 1981 to Melbourne,
Australia to pursue studies in viral immunology and autoimmunity at
the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research with
Professor Ian Mackay. In 1985 he moved to Brisbane to take up a
teaching post with the University of Queensland and was appointed
Director of the Centre for Immunology and Cancer Research (now known
as The University of Queensland Diamantina Institute) in 1991.
