Figure 1

In June 2017, a statue of Dr. George Nicholas Papanicolaou was placed in front of the Papanicolaou Cancer Research Building on the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine campus to commemorate the invention of PAP smear test.

Here in 1961, Dr. Papanicolaou became the head of the Cancer Institute of Miami, which was renamed the Papanicolaou Cancer Research Institute to honor Dr. Papanicolaou who died at 78 years of age, soon after his arrival in Miami.
