Career
Born in Hong Kong in 1959 to Robert Goodnow and Jacqueline J. Goodnow AC, Goodnow grew up in Rome and Washington DC before moving to Sydney, Australia as a teenager.{{Cite news|url=http://www.anu.edu.au/news/all-news/anu-spaces-christopher-goodnow|title=ANU Spaces - Christopher Goodnow|date=2014-11-06|work=ANU|access-date=2018-06-29|language=en}} He trained in veterinary medicine and surgery, immunochemistry and immunology at the University of Sydney and in DNA technology at Stanford University. After doctoral studies at Melbourne's Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research and the University of Sydney, he joined the faculty of the Stanford University Medical School and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in 1990.{{Cite web|url=https://www.garvan.org.au/news-events/news/garvan-welcomes-professor-chris-goodnow-as-deputy-director|title=Garvan welcomes Professor Chris Goodnow as Deputy Director {{!}} Garvan Institute of Medical Research|website=www.garvan.org.au|language=en|access-date=2018-06-29}} There he established the concept of multiple immune tolerance checkpoints, a framework now widely used in cancer treatment with "checkpoint inhibitors", and revealed the function of key genes in these checkpoints.{{Cite book|date=1995-01-01|title=Self-Tolerance Checkpoints in B Lymphocyte Development|series=Advances in Immunology|language=en|volume=59|pages=279–368|doi=10.1016/S0065-2776(08)60633-1|pmid=7484462|issn=0065-2776|last1=Goodnow|first1=Christopher C.|last2=Cyster|first2=Jason G.|last3=Hartley|first3=Suzanne B.|last4=Bell|first4=Sarah E.|last5=Cooke|first5=Michael P.|last6=Healy|first6=James I.|last7=Akkaraju|first7=Srinivas|author8-link=Jeffrey Rathmell|last8=Rathmell|first8=Jeffrey C.|last9=Pogue|first9=Sarah L.|last10=Shokat|first10=Kevan P.|isbn=9780120224593}}
In 1997 Goodnow joined the faculty at the Australian National University as professor and founding director of the Medical Genome Centre, leading its development into a major national research facility, the Australian Phenomics Facility. In 2015 he joined the Garvan Institute of Medical Research as deputy director to translate genomic DNA sequence analysis of the human immune system into understanding the cause of immune disorders and developing more effective, personalised treatments. During this period Goodnow oversaw the development of the Garvan-Weizmann Centre for Cellular Genomics in partnership with the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel,{{Cite news|url=https://www.weizmann.ac.il/WeizmannCompass/sections/weizmann-world/weizmann-australia/new-weizmann-garvan-centre-established-to-study-cellular|title=New Weizmann-Garvan centre established to study cellular genomics {{!}} WeizmannCompass|work=WeizmannCompass|access-date=2018-06-29|language=en}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.jewishnews.net.au/bairds-big-deals/53319|title=Baird's big deals - The Australian Jewish News|date=2016-04-14|work=The Australian Jewish News|access-date=2018-06-29|language=en-US}} the only multidisciplinary centre of its kind in the southern hemisphere as well as playing a key role in the development of the Clinical Immunogenomics Research Consortium Australia (CIRCA).{{Cite web|url=https://www.garvan.org.au/research/collaborative-programs/circa|title=Clinical Immunogenomics Research Consortium Australia - CIRCA {{!}} Garvan Institute of Medical Research|website=www.garvan.org.au|language=en|access-date=2018-06-29}} In May 2018, Goodnow was named Executive Director of the Garvan Institute.{{Cite news|url=https://www.garvan.org.au/news-events/news/visionary-researcher-chris-goodnow-to-take-the-helm-at-garvan-institute|title=Visionary researcher Chris Goodnow to take the helm at Garvan Institute {{!}} Garvan Institute of Medical Research|newspaper=Garvan Institute of Medical Research|language=en|access-date=2018-06-29}}
