The Alastair Lucas Prize was established by Burnet Institute in tribute to the late Alastair Lucas AO, former long-time Chair of Burnet Institute who died after a short illness in July 2015, at the age of 63.
Alastair Lucas made an enormous contribution to the Institute as a board member from the time he joined the Burnet Board in 1998, and as Chair from 2002 to the time he had to step aside due to ill health in September 2014.
In honour of Alastair’s significant contributions, the board of the Institute established the Alastair Lucas Endowment Fund, which provides funding for The Alastair Lucas Prize for Medical Research.
