Ralph Marvin Steinman (January 14, 1943 – September 30, 2011) [2] was a Canadian physician and medical researcher at Rockefeller University, who in 1973 discovered and named dendritic cells while working as a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Zanvil A. Cohn, also at Rockefeller University.
Ralph M. Steinman was a Canadian immunologist and cell biologist who shared the 2011 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine (with American immunologist Bruce A. Beutler and French immunologist Jules A. Hoffmann) for his codiscovery with American cell biologist Zanvil A. Cohn of the dendritic cell.

Beginning in 1978, he became editor of the Journal of Experimental Medicine and was one of its guiding forces. He also served as advisory editor of Human Immunology, the Journal of Clinical Immunology, the Journal of Immunologic Methods and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Sep 30, 2011 · Ralph Steinman discovered, in 1973, a new cell type that he called the dendritic cell. In cell culture experiments he demonstrated that dendritic cells can activate T-cells, a cell type that has a key role in adaptive immunity and develops an immunologic memory against many different substances.
In 1973, Rockefeller University scientist Ralph M. Steinman identified the cell type that is almost singularly responsible for commanding the efforts of all other immune cells: the dendritic cell. For this discovery, Dr. Steinman received the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Ralph M. Steinman was awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the dendritic cell and its role in adaptive immunity.
