Bradley, co-discovered and cloned Hepatitis C in 1989.[1][2] He also co-discovered the Hepatitis D genome in 1986.[3] The discovery of Hepatitis C led to the rapid development of diagnostic reagents to detect HCV in blood supplies which has reduced the risk of acquiring HCV through blood transfusion from one in three to about one in two million.[4][5] It is estimated that antibody testing has prevented at least 40,000 new infections per year in the US alone and many more worldwide.[6] He received his undergraduate training at Queen Elizabeth College in 1973 and completed his PhD in biochemistry at King's College London in 1980.[7] He trained under William J. Rutter at the University of California, San Francisco before joining Chiron Corporation.[7] He was awarded the Karl Landsteiner Memorial Award (1992) and Dale A. Smith Memorial Award (2005) of the American Association of Blood Banks, and the William Beaumont Prize of the American Gastroenterological Association in 1994.[8][9] References1. ^{{cite journal |vauthors=Choo QL, Kuo G, Weiner AJ, Overby LR, Bradley DW, Houghton M |title=Isolation of a cDNA clone derived from a blood-borne non-A, non-B viral hepatitis genome |journal=Science |volume=244 |issue=4902 |pages=359–62 |date=April 1989 |pmid=2523562 |doi=10.1126/science.2523562|citeseerx=10.1.1.469.3592 }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Choo, Qui-Lim}}{{biologist-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Singapore-born scientist pioneers test|url=http://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/newpaper19881103-1.2.5.11.aspx|website=NewspaperSG|accessdate=4 October 2016}} 3. ^{{cite journal|last=Wang|first=KS |author2=Choo, QL |author3=Weiner, AJ |author4=Ou, JH |author5=Najarian, RC |author6=Thayer, RM |author7=Mullenbach, GT |author8=Denniston, KJ |author9=Gerin, JL |author10=Houghton, M|title=Structure, sequence and expression of the hepatitis delta (delta) viral genome|journal=Nature|date=9 October 1986|volume=323|issue=6088|pages=508–14|pmid=3762705|doi=10.1038/323508a0}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Opinion: Nobel-worthy discovery right in our backyard|url=http://www.chrcrm.org/en/node/6048|website=Canadian for Health Research|accessdate=4 September 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Science world abuzz as virologist turns down Gairdner award|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/technology/science/science-world-abuzz-as-virologist-turns-down-gairdner-award/article10052360/|website=The Globe and Mail|accessdate=10 September 2016}} 6. ^{{cite book|last1=Thompson|first1=Gilbert|title=Pioneers of Medicine Without a Nobel Prize|date=2014|page=209|url=https://books.google.com/?id=_dK3CgAAQBAJ&pg=PA206&lpg=PA206&dq=%22Pioneers+of+Medicine+Without+a+Nobel+Prize%22+%22houghton%22#v=onepage&q=%22Pioneers%20of%20Medicine%20Without%20a%20Nobel%20Prize%22%20%22houghton%22&f=false|isbn=9781783263868}} 7. ^1 {{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/?id=n5P696E7T0wC&pg=PA344&dq=Qui-Lim+Choo#v=onepage&q=Qui-Lim%20Choo&f=false|title=Liver Cirrhosis and Its Development - Google Books|accessdate=12 January 2014|isbn=9780792387602|last1=Boyer|first1=J.L|last2=Blum|first2=H.E|last3=Maier|first3=K.P|last4=Sauerbruch|first4=T.|last5=Stalder|first5=G.A|date=2001-03-31}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=List of Past AABB Award Recipients|url=http://www.aabb.org/about/awards/Pages/recipientspast.aspx|website=AABB|accessdate=4 October 2016}} 9. ^{{cite web|title=William Beaumont Prize|url=http://www.gastro.org/about/awards/william-beaumont-prize-in-gastroenterology|website=American Gastroenterological Association|accessdate=4 October 2016}} 5 : Year of birth missing (living people)|Living people|Alumni of Queen Elizabeth College|Alumni of King's College London|Singaporean virologists |
