Harvey M. Patt

Harvey Milton Patt (August 2, 1918 – November 4, 1982)[1] was an American physiologist, radiation biologist, and cell biologist, who made "important scientific contributions in cell cycle kinetics and tissue repopulation.

[1] At Argonne National Laboratory, Patt became a staff member in 1946 and a senior physiologist in 1952.

The conference dealt with "4 aspects of radiobiological interest, namely the physical, chemical, biochemical, and organismal, with the visible cellular effects included in the latter.

[2] In 1964 Patt was awarded the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award from the Atomic Energy Commission "for exceptionally high quality research in radiobiology, especially in the field of radiation protection and for his important contributions to the present understanding of the dynamics of white blood cells formation.

"[9] In February 1964 at UCSF, Mortimer J. Elkind gave the inaugural Harvey M. Patt Memorial Lecture; after the lecture a plaque in memory of Patt was dedicated at UCSF's Laboratory of Radiobiology and Environmental Health.
