Martin Charles Raff CBE FRS FMedSci (born 15 January 1938) is a Canadian/UK biologist and researcher who is an Emeritus Professor at the MRC Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology (LMCB) at University College London (UCL). [1][2] His research has been in immunology, cell biology, and developmental neurobiology. [3][4]

Early life

He was born and educated in Montreal, and he obtained his B.Sc in 1959 and an

M.D.C.M. in 1963, both from McGill University. [5]

Career

He was an intern and Assistant Resident in Medicine at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal (1963-65) and a Resident in Neurology at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston (1965-68). He did postdoctoral training in immunology with Avrion Mitchison at the National Institute for Medical Research in Mill Hill, London (1968–1971), after which he moved to University College London, where he has been since 1971. He was President of the British Society of Cell Biology (1991–95). He retired from active science in 2002, but he still serves on various scientific advisory boards in Europe and America. After retirement, when his grandson was diagnosed with autism, he became interested in the neurobiological basis of autism. [6][1] He is an original co-author of two widely used cell biology textbooks: Molecular Biology of the Cell[7] and Essential Cell Biology.

  • 1974: Member of the European Molecular Biology Organization
  • 1985: Fellowship of the Royal Society [5]
  • 1988: Member of Academia Europaea
