Timeline

1931

Hamilton Othanel Smith (born August 23, 1931) is an American microbiologist and Nobel laureate.

Smith graduated from University Laboratory High School of Urbana, Illinois.

1950

He attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, but in 1950 transferred to the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned his B.A. in Mathematics in 1952.

1956

He received his medical degree from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in 1956.

Between 1956 and 1957 Smith worked for the Washington University in St. Louis Medical Service.

1960

H. influenza was the same organism in which Smith had discovered restriction enzymes in the late 1960s.

1970

In 1970, Smith and Kent W. Wilcox discovered the first type II restriction enzyme, which is now known as HindII.

Smith went on to discover DNA methylases that constitute the other half of the bacterial host restriction and modification systems, as hypothesized by Werner Arber of Switzerland.

1975

In 1975, he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship he spent at the University of Zurich.

1978

He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1978 for discovering type II restriction enzymes with Werner Arber and Daniel Nathans as co-recipients.

1995

He later became a leading figure in the nascent field of genomics, when in 1995 he and a team at The Institute for Genomic Research sequenced the first bacterial genome, that of Haemophilus influenzae.

1998

He subsequently played a key role in the sequencing of many of the early genomes at The Institute for Genomic Research, and in the assembly of the human genome at Celera Genomics, which he joined when it was founded in 1998.

More recently, he has directed a team at the J. Craig Venter Institute that works towards creating a partially synthetic bacterium, Mycoplasma laboratorium.

2003

In 2003 the same group synthetically assembled the genome of a virus, Phi X 174 bacteriophage.

2005

Smith is scientific director of privately held Synthetic Genomics, which was founded in 2005 by Craig Venter to continue this work.

Synthetic Genomics is working to produce biofuels on an industrial-scale using recombinant algae and other microorganisms.
