Michael Smith - Autobiography
love, working at the bench and having more time for sailing and forskiing. From Les Prix nobel 1993. michael smith died in 2000.
http://www.nobel.se/chemistry/laureates/1993/smith-autobio.html

Extractions: The seven years from 1943 to 1950 were also a time when I became a boy scout. That was a piece of luck. The headmaster at Arnold School, Mr. Holdgate, at the end of my first term, sent me to a dentist, Mr. Paterson, in the hope that he could correct my protruding front teeth, about which I had been teased by my schoolmates. Mr. Paterson did not correct the problem with my teeth but he did introduce me to a wonderful scoutmaster, Mr. Barnes, who inducted me into the happy world of camping and outdoorsmanship which provided me with enjoyment and vacations throughout my secondary school years and right up to the present. An enjoyment that explains why I have a particular delight in living amid the rugged outdoors and beauty of British Columbia. The last year of our graduate studies saw me and my classmates writing to various American professors seeking post-doctoral fellowships. I had no luck in obtaining my desire of a fellowship on the west coast of the United States, but I heard, in the summer of 1956, that a young scientist in Vancouver, Canada, Gobind Khorana , might have a fellowship to work on the synthesis of biologically important organo-phosphates. While I knew this kind of chemistry was much more difficult than the cyclohexane stereochemistry in which I was trained, I wrote to him and was awarded a fellowship after an interview in London with the Director of the British Columbia Research Council, Dr. G.M. Shrum.

Michael Smith- Nobel Prize In Chemistry
Accomplishment michael smith won a nobel Prize for organic chemistry(a total of half a million dollars) for work on the genetic code.
http://www.occdsb.on.ca/~sel/cahero/michael_smith.htm

Extractions: Ottawa, Ontario Field: Chemistry Date of birth: , he is still alive Accomplishment: Michael Smith won a Nobel Prize for organic chemistry (a total of half a million dollars) for work on the genetic code. He discovered a new way to create genetic mutation in living things. This has allowed many researchers around the world to have special bacteria, plants, and animals with new qualities or abilities which do not occur naturally or would avoid years of crossbreeding. He didn't keep the money though. He gave half of it to researchers working on the genetics of schizophrenia, a widespread mental disorder for which research money is scarce. The other half he gave to Science World BC and to the Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology. Why I admire him: Although he could have kept his money, he gave it away instead. By doing this he is thinking more about others more than himself.
Adventures In Science And Technology - Michael Smith, Biochemist
Even after winning his nobel Prize, however, michael smith is still doingresearch in biochemistry. Right now he is working on genomics.
http://collections.ic.gc.ca/science/english/chem/smith.html

Extractions: Born in Blackpool, England on April 26, 1932, Michael Smith struggled through hard times when he was a young child to become the successful scientist he is today. When he was seven years old, the Second World War began, causing great hardships in England. At eleven years of age, he received a scholarship that allowed him to continue his education up to the university level. He found school difficult, and many of his happiest times during his school years were spent with the Boy Scouts, an organization he is still involved with today. He attended Manchester University in Manchester, England where he took both an honours degree and his Ph.D. in Chemistry. After finishing those degrees, he wanted to go to North America to study more. He moved to Vancouver B.C. where he found his mentor Har Gobind Khorana. Gobind Khorana was a molecular biologist studying molecules that are important to research into genetics . It was in Gobind Khorana's lab that Michael Smith began learning the chemistry that would form the basis of his future research. Michael Smith was especially happy in Vancouver because of the natural, unspoiled beauty of the land in British Columbia. After completing his education, Michael Smith worked at the Fisheries Research Board of Canada Laboratory. Though the work he was doing there was not related to genetics, Michael Smith continued his research into that subject on the side. In 1966 he became a professor of biochemistry at the University of British Columbia. Undoubtedly, his greatest accomplishment in the field of chemistry came in 1993 when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering a process called site-directed mutagenesis. This is very important for molecular biology; it is a process for making a

Extractions: 22 septembre 1994 Michael Smith, superstar On sent, pendant les conférences du prix Nobel de chimie 1993, une ferveur qui rappelle celle de certiains concerts rock... Vendredi 16 septembre, ils étaient 300, pressés les uns contre les autres, dans un amphithéâtre contenant au mieux 200 places, certains assis dans les marches, d'autres par terre près du podium, excités et impatients à l'idée de voir et d'entendre le Wayne Gretzky de la science au Canada. Salle comble pour Michael Smith, prix Nobel de chimie 1993 et Canadien extraordinaire. Si comble qu'il aurait été impossible de sortir de l'amphithéâtre du CHUL sans piétiner quelques corps. Il régnait, dans cette salle surchauffée, une atmosphère de concert rock et on aurait cru quiconque aurait raconté qu'il avait dormi sur place la nuit précédente pour avoir un bon siège. Un parcours original Suspendus à ses lèvres, chercheurs accomplis et jeunes étudiants- chercheurs l'ont écouté raconter comment l'histoire de l'ADN et sa propre histoire se sont croisées. Originaire d'Angleterre et chimiste de formation, Michael Smith arrive au Canada en 1956 pour un stage post- doctorat au terme duquel il doit retourner au pays où un emploi dans l'industrie l'attend. Différents événements amènent le jeune chercheur à revoir ses projets. Il reste en Amérique et met ses talents de chimiste au service de la recherche en biologie, plus particulièrement de la recherche sur l'ADN dont on vient d'élucider la structure. La pièce maîtresse de l'ensemble de son oeuvre de chercheur est l'utilisation de petites séquences synthétiques d'ADN comme outils de recherche en biologie moléculaire. La technique qu'il a mise au point permet de détecter des gènes, d'en identifier les composantes et d'introduire de façon prédéterminée des mutations dans l'ADN afin d'étudier la fonction des gènes et des protéines. «J'aimerais être un jeune chercheur à nouveau parce qu'il existe maintenant tellement d'outils intéressants pour tester rapidement des hypothèses. Malheureusement, ces outils arrivent à un moment où l'économie traverse une période difficile. Les fonds de recherche sont difficiles à obtenir et les politiciens font des pressions en faveur de recherches plus appliquées.»

http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/u_arch/smithm.html

Extractions: 9 photographs. In 1993, Smith was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his pioneering work in the development of the technology of "site directed mutagenesis", a technique which allows gene sequences to be altered in a designated manner. In commenting on the importance of this development, a departmental tribute to Smith observed that: Site directed mutagenesis allows the reprogramming of genes to investigate the influence of genetic makeup on the characteristics and development of cells. Proteins of medical or industrial importance, such as antibodies and enzymes, can be redesigned to improve their stability and effectiveness. Dr. Smiths contribution to many fields of biology and medicine is therefore enormous. The fonds consists of Smiths biographical information, speeches, correspondence, laboratory notes and research material, copies of publications, and slides and presentation materials.
