Professor George Smith wins 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
George P. Smith, Curators Distinguished Professor Emeritus in our biological sciences department, won the Nobel Prize in chemistry this morning.
Dr. Smith’s research produced new antibodies used to cure metastatic cancer and counteract autoimmune diseases. This quote from the Nobel Prize press release underscores the gravity of his work: “We are in the early days of directed evolution’s revolution, which in many different ways, is bringing and will bring the greatest benefit to humankind.”
This work demonstrates the scholarship that Mizzou is doing to change the world through a commitment to excellence and innovation. How inspiring is that?
I can’t tell you how much this means to Mizzou. This type of accomplishment validates what I know to be true about the quality of our community and your support. I’m so proud to lead such an extraordinary group of people who are committed to driving a culture of excellence and discovery.
