“Viral Immunity” Featuring Dr. Peter Doherty
Dr. Peter Doherty is Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne. He and Dr. Rolf Zinkernagel, the co-recipient of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, discovered how T cells recognize their target antigens in combination with major histocompatibility complex proteins. Beyond this, Dr. Doherty has made significant contributions to studying viral immunity, with a strong focus on how the immune system responds to influenza and other respiratory viruses.
In this episode, he talks about beginning his career as a veterinarian studying sheep and his seminal discoveries on the mechanisms of T cell antigen recognition. He also discusses his ventures into science communication.
I could listen to Dr. Doherty talk about immunology for hours, and now you can too, at least for 30 minutes or so. Check out our 100th episode!
Dr. Jason Goldsmith, co-host
