Professor James McCluskey and colleagues have won the 2013 Australian Museum Eureka Prize for Scientific Research. Many congratulations to Professor James McCluskey and his colleagues for winning the highly-prestigious Eureka Prize for Scientific Research at the awards ceremony dinner last night. Professor McCluskey is the Doherty Institute Project Champion and the University of Melbourne Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research). The research team of Dr Lars Kjer-Nielsen, Professors James McCluskey, and Jamie Rossjohn are the first in the world to figure out what activates ‘mucosal associated invariant T cells’, a recently discovered gut-dwelling type of immune system cell, that is widespread but until now, remained quite mysterious. Congratulations also to the Resident Memory Team: Dr Thomas Gebhardt, Dr Scott Mueller and Dr Laura Mackay from the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Melbourne, who were finalists in the Infectious Diseases Research category. australianmuseum.net.au/2013-eureka-research
