Lucas Andrew Staehelin (February 10, 1939 – September 28, 2022) was a retired Swiss-American cell biologist.[1] He was professor emeritus at the University of Colorado Boulder.[2]
He developed cryofixation methods and pioneered their use for preserving cellular structures for electron microscope studies.[3][4] Application of these methods to the analysis of plant, animal and bacterial cells brought insights into the nanoscale architecture and functional organization of membranous organelles and cytoskeletal systems.[5][6][7][8] Staehelin taught undergraduate and graduate courses in cellular and molecular biology at the University of Colorado Boulder.
