Huntington SHELDON

Sheldon graduated from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1956 and went on to serve first as a staff member and then as a resident at the school. In 1959, he accepted a faculty position in the pathology department at McGill University in Montreal, where he taught and performed research until his retirement in 1985. In his research, he was a pioneer in the use of electron microscopy at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm. It was Sheldon who brought his knowledge of this field to Johns Hopkins. The electron microscope was a precursor to today’s electron cryomicroscope. Sheldon has been a generous donor to The Johns Hopkins University over the years, making significant gifts in support of the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Fund for Johns Hopkins Medicine, the Peabody Institute and other Johns Hopkins entities. He serves as a Fund for Johns Hopkins Medicine trustee and the vice chairman of the board for IBBS, and he is a member of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Advisory Board. Sheldon has shared his vision, experience and wisdom with the Johns Hopkins community over many decades and was a principal in the formation of IBBS.
