George C. Papanicolaou was a Greek-American physician and researcher best known for developing the Pap smear (Papanicolaou test), a crucial method for early detection of cervical cancer. Born on May 13, 1883, in Kimports, Greece, Papanicolaou moved to the United States in the early 20th century, where he conducted research focused on cytology—the study of cell types.
