EAACI is proud to announce the 2011 Noon Award Winner: Dr. Alfred William Frankland.
Dr. Bill Frankland holds a special place in the history of allergy and immunotherapy, and is a direct link with the inventors of immunotherapy. In 1946, he joined St. Mary's Hospital London and later worked with John Freeman, the co-inventor with Noon of immunotherapy. He took over Freeman's pollen farm and founded the St. Mary's Allergy Clinic, treating thousands of patients every year. Together with Rosa Augustin, he undertook the first controlled clinical trial of immunotherapy. Dr. Frankland invented the concept of the pollen count and through countless media interviews he continues to explain allergy to the public.
