Purdue University (M.S., Ph.D.) Scientific career Fields Biochemistry, Genetics Institutions University of Toronto Thesis Compartmentation of organic acids in plant tissues (1963) Doctoral advisor Harry Beevers David Herman MacLennan OC OOnt FRS FRSC (July 3, 1937 - June 24, 2020) was a Canadian biochemist and geneticist known for his basic work on proteins that regulate calcium flux through the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), thereby regulating muscle contraction and relaxation, and for his discoveries in the field of muscle diseases caused by genetic defects in calcium regulatory proteins.[1]
