Keith R. Porter
Keith Roberts Porter (June 11, 1912 – May 2, 1997) was a
Canadian-
American cell biologist. He created pioneering biology techniques and research using
electron microscopy of
cells. Porter also contributed to the development of other experimental methods for
cell culture and
nuclear transplantation. He was also responsible for naming the
endoplasmic reticulum, conducting work on the 9 + 2
microtubule structure in the
axoneme of
cilia, and coining the term "
microtrabecular lattice." In collaborations with other scientists, he contributed to the understanding of cellular structures and concepts such as
compartmentalization,
flagella,
centrioles,
fibrin,
collagen,
T-tubules and
sarcoplasmic reticulum. He also introduced
microtome cutting.
