Biography

Prior to coming to Yale, he was a professor at the University of Chicago.[3] He received his MD from Columbia University in 1959 and his undergraduate degree from Princeton University in 1955.[3] After briefly practicing medicine and working as a researcher for the NIH,[7] he would go on to earn a second doctorate, a PhD, from Cambridge University at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology[3] working under David M. Blow[5] before moving to the University of Chicago.[3]

Memorials

A memorial plaque is located in front of the Bass Center for Structural Bilogy on Science Hill on the campus of Yale University. Yale has a Paul Sigler Memorial Prize for undergraduate research in Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry.[9] Yale also has sponsored Paul Sigler memorial symposia in the past.[10] The Agouron Institute sponsored 12 Paul Sigler fellowships between 2000 and 2006.[11] He is buried at Coop Prairie Cemetery in Mansfield, Arkansas.[1]
