UNC Greensboro is welcoming a Nobel Prize winner to its campus on Wednesday, March 19.
George Smith, Ph.D., won the prize for chemistry in 2018 for his studies on what’s called phage display. It’s a molecular biology technique that enables scientists to see surface proteins on a virus and allows for the creation of specific antibodies.
This process led to the development of medicines that treat things like arthritis, Crohn’s disease and more.
Smith’s lecture will be titled “Phage Antibodies: Potent Medicines We Shouldn’t Have To Pay Monopoly Prices For.”
The event starts at 5:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
