Graduation1977King's College, London, England, PhD, biochemistry
Note2000Albert Lasker Clinical Research Award
Occupation2010University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Canada Excellence Research Chair in Virology; Professor, Dept. of Medical Microbiology & Immunology
BiographyMichael Houghton is an internationally recognized expert in hepatitis virology. Working with researchers at world-leading blood diagnostics company Chiron and the United States' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, he was the first to successfully identify and clone the hepatitis C virus. The breakthrough allowed him to develop new blood-screening tests now used worldwide to ensure safe blood supplies. His work also led to the identification of important new drug targets for hepatitis C, which are being pursued by groups around the world. Houghton holds a PhD in biochemistry from King's College London. Before becoming Canada Excellence Research Chair in Virology at the University of Alberta, he was chief scientific officer at Epiphany Biosciences in California. Previously, he spent 25 years in a distinguished career at Chiron, ultimately serving as vice-president of HCV and virology research. In 2000, Houghton received the prestigious Albert Lasker Clinical Research Award for his work. Houghton has published more than 200 articles on topics critical to human health, including gene regulation, human beta interferons (proteins that interfere with the spread of viral infections) and hepatitis C and D viruses. He also holds numerous patents on recombinant human interferons, bacterial expression plasmids, and diagnostics, drug targets and vaccines for hepatitis C and D viruses.

Wikipedia, 2020:
Houghton joined G. D. Searle & Company before moving to Chiron Corporation in 1982. It was at Chiron that Houghton together with colleagues Qui-Lim Choo and George Kuo, and Daniel W. Bradley from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, first discovered Hepatitis C.

Houghton was co-author of a series of seminal studies published in 1989 and 1990 that identified hepatitis C antibodies in blood, particularly among patients at higher risk of contracting the disease, including those who had received blood transfusions. This work led to the development of a blood screening test in 1990; widespread blood screening that began in 1992 with the development of a more sensitive test has since virtually eliminated hepatitis C contamination of donated blood supplies in Canada.[18][19] In other studies published during the same period, Houghton and collaborators linked hepatitis C with liver cancer.

In 2013, Houghton's team at the University of Alberta showed that a vaccine derived from a single strain of Hepatitis C was effective against all strains of the virus.[23][24] The vaccine is currently in clinical trials. Houghton holds 73 U.S. patents related to his research; a further seven patents are pending.

Awards: 992 - Karl Landsteiner Memorial Award; 1993 - Robert Koch Prize; 1994 - William Beaumont Prize; 1994 - Beatrice Vitiello Award; 1998 - International Hepatitis Foundation Award; 1999 - Hans Popper Award; 2000 - Lasker Award; 2005 - Dale A. Smith Memorial Award; 2009 - Hepdart Lifetime Achievement Award; 2013 - In 2013 he became the first person to decline the $100,000 Gairdner Foundation International Award stating "I felt that it would be unfair of me to accept this award without the inclusion of two colleagues, Dr. Qui-Lim Choo and Dr. George Kuo; 2020 - Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine; He was awarded an honorary doctorate of science from his alma mater, the University of East Anglia, in 2019.2
