John Curtin School of Medical Research
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCMSR) is a major biomedial research centre in Australia, based at the Australian National University, Canberra. The school was founded in 1948, as a result of the vision of Australian Nobel Laureate Sir Howard Florey and Prime Minister John Curtin.
The Nobel Prize-winning Peter Doherty conducted his award-winning research here, discovering the way T cells interact with the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) in antigen recognition.
