Nobel Prize Winners Sancar and Smithies Take Similar Paths To Get To UNC

It’s often said that behind every great man is a great woman — for UNC’s two Nobel Prize winners Aziz Sancar and Oliver Smithies, this is certainly true. “Well I came (to UNC) because my wife came here,” Smithies said. “I came on my wife’s coattails. She got a job offered and so I asked ‘was there anyone interested in me coming to Chapel Hill.'” (Chapelboro.com)
