Max Dale Cooper (born August 31, 1933, in Hazlehurst, Mississippi[1]), ForMemRS, is an American immunologist and Professor of Pathology at Emory University known for identifying T cells and B cells.[2][3]

Education and career[]

Cooper obtained his medical degree and pediatric residency training from Tulane University School of Medicine after attending the University of Mississippi for his undergraduate studies.[4][5]

His laboratory currently studies the evolution of adaptive immunity and explores the use of lamprey monoclonal antibodies for diagnosis and therapy of infectious diseases and lymphoid malignancies in humans. Cooper worked with Robert A. Good to define the independent development of the functionally-interactive T and B cell lineages at the University of Minnesota. Later, he worked with University of Alabama graduate student Paul Kincade to discover antibody class switching by B cells. He and Dale Bockman also worked to describe the lymphoid follicle-associated epithelial “M” cells in the intestine and their transcytotic function. Earlier, while on sabbatical at University College London in 1974, Cooper worked with Martin Raff and John Owen to define the fetal liver and bone marrow origin of B cells and pre-B cells.[5]

Cooper is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Medicine, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences as well as a foreign member of the French Academy of Sciences and the Royal Society of London. Cooper is a former president of the American Association of Immunologists, the Clinical Immunology Society, and the Kunkel Society. Honors include the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine Founder's Award, Sandoz Prize in Immunology, American College of Physicians Science Award, American Association of Immunologists (AAI) Lifetime Achievement Award, AAI-Dana Foundation Award in Human Immunology Research, Avery-Landsteiner Prize, the Robert Koch Prize, AAI Excellence in Mentoring Award, and the Japan Prize.[6]
