UWA celebrates WA's Nobel Laureates
The awards given to Professor Barry Marshall and Dr Robin Warren in Medicine and Physiology was an inspiration to scientific research in Western Australia, Professor Alan Robinson, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Western Australia, recently said.
"The University of Western Australia congratulates them on this outstanding achievement which recognises their groundbreaking collaborative work done at Royal Perth Hospital in the early 1980's", said Professor Robinson.
In 1982, Professor Marshall working with Dr Warren discovered that infection of the stomach by a previously unidentified spiral bacteria increased the risk of gastric cancer. Their work later lead to the treatment and reduction in the prevalence of gastric cancer through antibiotic therapy.
The University of Western Australia in 1997 awarded Honorary Doctorates to the duo for their pioneering work.
