I think Aziz Sancar is our national modern hero because
he won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 2015 for his study of DNA
repair. He is the second Turkish owner of the Nobel Prize.
Aziz Sancar was born in Savur, Mardin in 1946. He grew
up as one of the eight children of a lower middle class family. His
parents had no education, but they knew that education was important for their children.
Aziz Sancar studied medicine at Istanbul University between 1963 and 1969. Then he received
his doctorate at the University of Texas and studied molecular biology in the USA until 1977.
After that, he started his postdoctoral work at Yale University School of Medicine in 1977.
Now, he is a professor at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill.
In 1983, through studies of bacteria, Aziz Sancar showed how certain protein
molecules, certain repair enzymes repair DNA damaged by ultraviolet light. These discoveries
have increased people’s understanding of how the living cells work, the causes of cancer and
aging processes. I wish I were a national hero like Aziz Sancar.
