University of Queensland Professor Ian Frazer has been nominated for the “Outstanding Contribution to Cancer Control Award”.

Professor Frazer’s work with Professor Jian Zhou created the technology behind the human papillomavirus vaccine, a critical step in the ongoing battle to eradicate cervical cancer.

He has been nominated alongside the Presidents of Zambia and Uruguay, who have also distinguished themselves “through true excellence in this field”, says Princess of Jordan Dina Mired.
