  George Pearson Smith was born 10 March 1941 in the United States. He built his career at the University of Missouri in Columbia, where he rose to Curators' Distinguished Professor of Biological Sciences. The Nobel committee eventually called his name, recognizing discoveries that changed the field. He now holds the title emeritus, the lab years behind him but the laureate designation permanent.
