Warren helped develop a convenient diagnostic test (14

In 2005, Warren and Marshall were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

An Australian documentary was made in 2006 about Warren and Marshall's road to the Nobel Prize, called "The Winner's Guide to the Nobel Prize". He was appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia in 2007.[2]

Personal life

Warren married Winifred Theresa Warren (née Williams) in the early 1960s and together they had five children.[3] Winifred Warren went on to become an accomplished psychiatrist. Following her death in 1997, Warren retired from medicine.[3]
