This September marks 10 years since the Doherty Institute opened its doors. To celebrate this major milestone in the Institute’s history, please join us for an evening in conversation with Patron and namesake Laureate Professor Peter Doherty and Director Professor Sharon Lewin, hosted by Jon Faine.

Responding to COVID-19, solving the 80-year-old mystery of the Buruli ulcer, researching a cure for HIV and a universal one-shot influenza vaccine are just a few examples of the Doherty Institute’s work over the last decade; come behind the scenes with two of Australia’s most eminent scientists. They’ll also look ahead to the future and answer the burning question – are we prepared for the next pandemic?
