Ian Frazer


A clinical immunologist with an interest in host-virus interactions, I do research on cancer vaccines, and promote scientific research and researchers to the community, to government, and to school kids. I’ve lived in Brisbane since 1985 with Caroline. I have three kids (one vet, and two wannabe doctors). I’m still the enthusiastic skier, cyclist and bushwalker that I was in 1977, and have added SCUBA and opera to my leisure activities. According to Cosmo magazine, I’m the “ little prick that may save your life”, and the Weekend Australian thinks that I (or more likely some research I’ve been involved in) is “God’s gift to women”. However, The Perthshire advertiser is probably nearer the mark – I’m the “Perthshire woman’s husband… acknowledged in Australia)”.
