周健博士1957年出生于中国浙江省杭州市。
周博士于 1982 年毕业于中国温州医学院，于 1984 年在中国浙江医科大学获得医学病理学硕士学位，并于 1987 年在中国河南医科大学获得博士学位。1994 年他获昆士兰大学颁发医学博士学位。
Dr Zhou worked as a postdoctoral research at Beijing Medical University, before moving to University of Cambridge, United Kingdom in 1988. In 1990 Prof Frazer convinced Dr Zhou to join him at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, as a senior research fellow. He became the Lions Principal Research Fellow and head of the Papillomavirus Virology Unit in the University’s Centre for Immunology and Cancer Research at Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane in 1999.
The cooperation between Dr Zhou and Prof Ian Frazer eventually lead to the creation of a vaccine that completely protects unexposed women against four HPV strains responsible for 70% of cervical cancers, which kill about 250,000 women annually.
周博士在北京医科大学从事博士后研究，之后于 1988 年转往英国剑桥大学。 1990 年，Frazer教授说服周博士加入他在布里斯班昆士兰大学的工作，担任高级研究员。他于 1999 年成为位于布里斯班雅丽珊郡主医院的大学免疫学和癌症研究中心的狮子会首席研究员及乳头瘤病毒部门负责人。
周博士和 Ian Frazer 教授之间的合作最终导致研发出一种疫苗，可以完全保护未受感染的女性免受人类乳头状瘤病毒(HPV) 四种病毒株的侵害，这些病毒株导致百分之七十的子宫颈癌。每年约有 250,000 名女性因子宫颈癌死亡。
In March 1999, Dr Zhou passed away in Hangzhou at the age of 42. In 2008, Dr Zhou's contribution to his efforts in research, including his work with the cervical cancer vaccine, were formally recognised with a commemorative service at Queensland Parliament House attended by over 300 people, and included a written tribute from the Australian Prime Minister of the time, Kevin Rudd in Brisbane, Australia.
