The Greek cytopathologist worked with his wife to develop the life-saving medical test.
Today’s Google Doodle is honoring the Greek medical pioneer Georgios Papanikolaou, who worked with his wife to develop the life-saving Pap smear.
In 1911 he joined the Oceanographic Exploration Team of the Prince of Monaco before immigrating to the U.S. with his wife, Andromachi Mavroyenis, in 1913. The couple's breakthrough arrived after they asked a group of friends to participate in a study for their research looking at how cells in the vagina and uterus change during the menstrual cycle; a test which involved undergoing a Pap smear.
Despite first reporting that Pap smears are an effective way to detect cancer early in 1928, his findings were not widely recognized until they were published in the book Diagnosis of Uterine Cancer by the Vaginal Smear in 1943.
