The house that Syd built: an early history of the Department of Microbiology

Abstract

The Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Melbourne, where Prof. Nancy Millis spent most of her professional life, has been influenced by many key figures, not least Prof. Millis herself and the long-serving chair of the Department, Prof. Sydney Rubbo. This is the story of some of the people who have inhabited that Department.
