Phillip Sharp

Institute Professor, Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research and Nobel Laureate
Program: Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research

As a youth hoeing tobacco in rural Kentucky, undergraduate life on a college campus appealed to Professor Sharp as a greener, more social alternative. Prof. Sharp decided to save money and attend college. While studying at Union College in the mountains of Kentucky, Prof. Sharp’s interest in chemistry and math “grew exponentially.”
