John Curtin School of Medical Research

John Curtin School of Medical Research

The John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCMSR) is a major biomedical research centre in Australia, based at the Australian National University, Canberra. The school was founded in 1948, as a result of the vision of Australian Nobel Laureate Sir Howard Florey and Prime Minister John Curtin.

The Nobel Prize-winning Peter Doherty conducted his award-winning research here, discovering the way T cells interact with the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) in antigen recognition.

Movie star Jackie Chan has made donations to the School, with the Director in 2006 announcing the Jackie Chan Science Centre will be named after him. [ [http://info.anu.edu.au/mac/Media/Media_Releases/_2006/_February/_240206jackiechan.asp ANU to name science centre after Jackie Chan] ]
