A landmark work in the history of Australian medical science, this institutional history chronicles the first fifty years of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, one of the world's most distinguished biomedical research centers. Written by Nobel laureate Sir Macfarlane Burnet — himself a towering figure in the institute's story — the narrative presents an authoritative and deeply personal account of the scientific milestones, key personalities, and evolving research programs that shaped the institute from its earliest days through the mid-twentieth century. With the measured precision of a scientist and the reflective insight of a historian, Burnet details the intellectual culture and institutional challenges that defined decades of pioneering work in immunology, virology, and infectious disease. Walter and Eliza Hall Institute 1915–1965 stands as both a meticulous institutional record and a tribute to the collaborative spirit that drove some of the most consequential medical discoveries of the era.
