iReceptor congratulates Prof. George P. Smith, who received the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry this week for his invention of phage display, and pioneering work on phage-library technology. As a postdoc with Prof. Smith, iReceptor Co-PI Dr. Jamie K. Scott helped produce the proof of concept for phage-displayed peptide libraries (details). Both Dr. Scott and iReceptor Co-PI Dr. Felix Breden attended the Nobel award ceremony last week as colleagues of Prof. Smith.
