Aziz Sancar's Life

Born on September 8, 1946, in Savur district of Mardin, Aziz Sancar has been working at the University of North Carolina in the USA since 1997. He is known for his pioneering work in biochemical approaches used to identify many parts of DNA repair over the last 20 years. He is also the first American of Turkish descent to be elected to the US National Academy of Sciences, along with Mehmet Özdoğan. Sancar won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2015 for his research mapping how cells repair damaged DNA and protect their genetic information.

The terms "maxicell technique," which Aziz Sancar developed and named, and "excinuclease excision nuclease enzyme," which he discovered and named, have been included in the Oxford University Dictionary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in England.
