This bacterium, which came to be known as Helicobacter pylori, made its home between the gastric epithelial cell surfaces and the mucus layer above them, and was also found to cause antral gastritis. All three conditions could be cured by simply eradicating the bacteria. These studies have revolutionised the field of gastroenterology, as H. pylori is seen as the cause of almost 90% of all duodenal ulcers and 80% of all gastric ulcers. Warren and Marshall were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2005 for their discovery. 1960 2024 Career position - Member, Australian Medical Association 1961 1961 Education - MB BS, University of Adelaide 1961 1962 Career position - Junior Resident Medical Officer, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woodville, South Australia 1962 1963 Career position - Registrar in Haematology and Clinical Pathology, Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science Adelaide 1963 1964 Career position - Lecturer in pathology, University of Adelaide 1964 1966 Career position - Registrar in Clinical Pathology, Royal Melbourne Hospital 1966 1968 Career position - Appointed Registrar in Pathology, Royal Melbourne Hospital 1967 1970 Award - Fellow, College of Pathologists of Australasia 1968 1999 Career position - Pathologist, Royal Perth Hospital 1970 1995 Award - Fellow, Royal College of Pathologists of Australia (later Australasia) 1975 2024?
