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 developing other experimental
cell culture and
nuclear transplantation methods. He was also responsible for naming the
endoplasmic reticulum, working on the 9 + 2
microtubule structure in the
axoneme of
cilia, and coining the term "
microtrabecular lattice." Collaborating with other scientists, he contributed to understanding cellular structures and concepts such as
compartmentalization,
flagella,
centrioles,
fibrin,
collagen,
T-tubules and
sarcoplasmic reticulum. He also introduced
microtome cutting.
