I was born in 1948 in Alice, a small farming and oil town in the brush country of the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas. Those early years in Alice shaped who I would later become. Being in Texas, the whole town, including my two older brothers, was obsessed with football. But, I learned from a young age that being crushed under a pile of big sweaty...
I enrolled at UT Austin in the summer session immediately after high school graduation. Due to my summers in Austin, I never thought of going anywhere else. In accordance with my father’s hopes, I began as a premed student. However, I became dissatisfied with the rote memorization required in some of the pre-med courses. At the beginning of my seco...
Professors Mandy and Kitto helped me get a post-doctoral appointment in Ralph Reisfeld’s laboratory at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, California. I felt that this was a great choice because Scripps was a hotbed of research in immunology, and because Reisfeld had recently reported the isolation and initial characterization of human histocompatibility (...
UC Berkeley is a marvelous place, teeming with bright, inventive people seeking knowledge. My time at UC Berkeley was notable for my interactions with many wonderful colleagues and students. It was a time of discovery, collegiality, long days working in the lab, and long nights partying with everyone in the lab. Max Krummel described it best by say...
I arrived in Manhattan during the summer of 2004 with most of my laboratory intact. Over the next 8 years, I did my best to help Thomas Kelly hire a cadre of the best immunologists that we could, and I feel that we succeeded in building a truly spectacular group of basic immunologists involved in a variety of studies relevant to the cancer problem....
At MSKCC, my lab had continued exploring ways in which to improve anti-tumor responses with anti-CTLA-4 treatment. We performed many experiments including combinations with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, cryoablation and with other immune checkpoint agents. After anti-CTLA-4 was shown to have some clinical success in the early clinical trials, ma...
Both Allison and Honjo set out to understand how a type of white blood cell called T cells work. T cells can detect invading bacteria, viruses and other dangers such as cancer before multiplying and recruiting other elements of the immune system to join the fight. “They can recognise almost anything that nature throws at you,” Allison explains.
Aug 26, 2014 · The discovery of ipilimumab and its 2011 approval by the FDA, which established immune checkpoint blockade as a cancer therapy, have catapulted Dr. Allison to fame and garnered him multiple awards and honors; in 2013, he received the inaugural Lloyd J. Old Award in Cancer Immunology from the American Association for Cancer Research and the $3 million Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences.
