Timeline

1914

Hans Ris (June 15, 1914 – November 19, 2004) was an American cytologist and pioneer electron microscopist.

His studies of chromosome structure revealed the importance of non-histone proteins, and along with evolutionary biologist Lynn Margulis, he was one of the first to recognize that blue-green algae were a special type of bacteria.

He coined the term genophore for prokaryote DNA to highlight its differences from the eukaryal chromosome.

Hans Ris was born in Bern, Switzerland on 15 June 1914, where he also grew up.

Inspired by the works of the French entomologist Jean Henri Fabre, he observed the habits of ants, wasps and bees.

1938

He came to America in 1938 to work with B.H. Willier at Rochester, New York.

After receiving his doctorate at Columbia University he moved to Johns Hopkins and later to the laboratory of Alfred Mirsky at Rockefeller University, where he studied the structure of chromosomes.

1949

He then went to the zoology department of the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1949, where he started to work with electron microscopes.

1972

In 1972 he established the High Voltage Electron Microscopy (HVEM) laboratory within the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

He retired at age 75, but remained Emeritus Investigator of the University of Wisconsin’s Integrated Microscopy Resource (IMR) and continued to work on high-resolution images of the nuclear pore complex.

The Laboratory of Optical and Computational Instrumentation (LOCI) in collaboration with the Center for Quantitative Cell Imaging at the University of Wisconsin-Madison hosts an annual seminar series honoring Ris, who oversaw the installation of one of the nation's first high-voltage electron microscopes in the former location of LOCI.

1983

Ris was a founding member of the American Society for Cell Biology and received the Distinguished Scientist Award by the Microscopy Society of America in 1983.

2004

Ris remained Emeritus Investigator of the IMR until his death in 2004.
