INTRODUCTION
A message from our Director, Chair and Patron
Professor Sharon Lewin
2023 was a year of significant progress for the Doherty Institute across research, public health and education; and I am delighted to share some of our key highlights over the following pages.
Martyn Myer
As a global leader in infection and immunity, the Doherty Institute is distinguished by the excellence of its team and the significant recognition it receives. Highly Cited Researchers, the Eureka Prize for Infectious Diseases Research and the STInG Excellence in Trial Statistics Award are just a few examples of the accolades our staff received in 2023, which highlight the exceptional talent and commitment to excellence within our Institute.
Laureate Professor Peter Doherty
Through the 20th into the 21st century, humanity has lived through three major pandemics – the H1N1 influenza of 1918-19, the HIV pandemic that came to global consciousness in 1981 and now COVID-19, which began at the end of 2019 and is now in its fifth year.
"To improve health globally through discovery research and the prevention, treatment and cure of infectious diseases."
