ST. JUDES -- Did you know . . . (Fact 39)

[Larry Surtees]

Did you know Peter C. Doherty, PhD, of the St. Judes Immunology department, won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1996. He shares the award with Rolf M. Zinkernagel, MD, of the University of Zurich. Their findings have led to breakthroughs in the understanding and treatment of viral infections and cancers, and in the development of organ transplant procedures and vaccines.
