`Life
`
`James Allison was born in Alice, Texas in the United States. He studied at the University
`of Texas in Austin, and he received his PhD there in 1973. He worked at the Scripps
`Clinic and Research Foundation in La Jolla, California; University of Texas System
`Cancer Center, Smithville, Texas; University of California, Berkeley; Memorial Sloan-
`Kettering Cancer Center, New York; Weill Cornell Medicine, New York; and Howard
`Hughes Medical Institute, Chevy Chase, Maryland. Since 2012 he has been a professor at

`
`Work
`
`Cancer kills millions of people every year and is one of humanity’s greatest health
`challenges. By stimulating the inherent ability of our immune system to attack tumor
`cells James Allison and Tasuku Honjo have established an entirely new principle for
`cancer therapy. In 1994–1995, Allison studied a known protein that functions as a brake
`on the immune system. He realized the potential of releasing the brake and thereby
`unleashing our immune cells to attack tumors. He then developed this concept into a
`new approach for treating patients.
