James Brontë Gatenby (10 October 1892 – 20 July 1960)[1] was a zoologist notable for his work on the structure of cells and the Golgi bodies.
He remained at Oxford until 1919, first as a demonstrator in forest zoology and human embryology, then as a lecturer in histology in 1917.
[citation needed] In 1915, during World War I, Gatenby was 'at the front in France' but was recalled to finish his medical studies at Oxford.
He was appointed professor of zoology and comparative anatomy at Trinity College, Dublin, in 1921.
His most important work was studying Golgi bodies in various animals, including humans.
