Video: Dr. Oliver Smithies, in memoriam
Posted Jan 15, 2017
In 2007, Oliver Smithies became the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s first full-time faculty member to win a Nobel Prize. He received the honor for his development of a technique that makes it possible to introduce targeted genetic modifications to cells. But to the campus community he was more than a Nobel laureate — he was a Carolina staple.
