He was Head of Experimental Pathology Unit at the WEHI (1966-1996) and is recognised as having discovered the function of the thymus. Miller and his PhD student Graham Mitchell proved the existence and function of T cells and B cells, which has significantly opened up whole new fields for the study of immunology, including the study of cancer, autoimmune disease, transplantation and HIV and AIDS. Jacques Miller continues to be one of the most respected research thymus biologists in the world and has received many, many accolades and awards including the Florey Medal 2000; the 2001 Copley Medal and Prize of the Royal Society, London; the 2003 Prime Minister's Prize for Science; and an Officer in the Order of Australia (AO). 1953 1953 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc Med), University of Sydney 1955 1955 Education - Bachelor of Medicine (MB) and Bachelor of Surgery (BS), University of Sydney 1956 1956 Career position - Junior Resident Medical Officer, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney 1957 1957 Award - Reginald Maney Lake and Amy Laura Bonamy Scholarship for Pathological Research, University of Sydney 1958 1959 Career position - Gaggin Research Fellow, Chester Beatty Research Institute, Institute of Cancer Research, Royal Cancer Hospital in London 1960 1960 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of London 1960 1963 Career position - Lecturer, Chester Beatty Research Institute 1964 1964 Career position - Eleanor Roosevelt International Fellow, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, USA 1965 1965 Education - Doctor of Science (DSc), University of London 1965 1965 Career position - Reader in Experimental Pathology, University of London 1966 1966 Award - Britannica Australia Award 1966 1996 Career position - Head of the Department of Experimental Pathology (later renamed Thymus Biology Unit), Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Parkville, Victoria 1970 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Science (FAA) 1970 Award - Fellow, The Royal Society, London (FRS) 1971 1971 Award - Macfarlane Burnet Medal and Lecture, Australian Academy of Science 1978 1978 Award - Sir William Upjohn Medal for distinguished services to Medicine, University of Melbourne 26 Jan 1981 26 Jan 1981 Award - Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) - for service to medical research 1985 1985 Education - Bachelor of Arts (BA), University of Melbourne 1990 1990 Award - Inaugural Sandoz Prize for Immunology 1990 1990 Award - Inaugural Peter Medawar Prize, Transplantation Society 1990 1996 Career position - Professor of Experimental Immunology, University of Melbourne 1992 1992 Award - Croonian Lecturer for the Royal Society, London 2000 2000 Award - Faulding Florey Medal, Australian Institute of Policy and Science 1 Jan 2001 1 Jan 2001 Award - Centenary Medal - for service to Australian society and science in immunology 2001 2001 Award - Copley Medal and Prize, The Royal Society, London 2003 2003 Award - Prime Minister's Prize for Science, Commonwealth of Australia 9 Jun 2003 9 Jun 2003 Award - Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) - for service to medical science in the area of immunology research, particularly in relation to seminal contributions to the understanding of the working of the immune system leading to wider research in tissue transplantation, immunological deficiency syndrome and control of cancer 2015 2015 Award - ANZAAS Medal, Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science 2018 2018 Award - Japan Prize for Medicine and Medicinal Research 2019 2019 Award - Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award (joint), Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation, New York, U.S.A.
