Keith Roberts Porter (June 11, 1912 – May 2, 1997) was a Canadian-Americancell 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 introduce

(b. Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, 11 June 1912; d. Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, 2 May 1997), cell biology, electron microscopy, tissue culture

Porter was a pioneer in the modern field of cell biology, playing important roles in the development of electron microscopy as a technique for studying cell structures, in creating new knowledge of structure-function relations in cell cytoplasm, and in establishing professional institutions for cell biology in North America.

Education Porter’s father was a cabinetmaker and his earlier ancestors had been farmers. His interest in biology was kindled in high school where he and other students were given access to laboratory space after school to experiment on their own. Porter remained in Nova Scotia to attend college at Acadia University, graduating in 1934. He then moved to Harvard University for graduate training in experimental embryology, during which time he developed techniques for manipulating nuclei in frog eggs. By removing the nucleus from the egg before it was inseminated, he created embryos with a si
