The Bill Sykes Scholars Program in Molecular and Cellular Pathology was established by Dr. Nobuyo Maeda and Dr. Oliver Smithies in memory of Dr. Smithies parents to support the training of exceptional graduate students in Molecular and Cellular Pathology during their first year.  Dr. Smithies' Father's name was Bill and his Mother's maiden name was Sykes.  The funds to support this scholarship are derived from several patents that are held by Drs. Maeda and Smithies.  These patents are related to technology for genetically manipulating mice.  All applicants to the Molecular and Cellular Pathology Ph.D. program will be considered for this distinction.
