Emil Skamene, CQ FRSC (27 August 1941 – 3 October 2024) was a Canadian immunologist, medical researcher, and pioneer in genetic research.
Skamene was born in Buczacz, Poland (now part of Ukraine).[1] Many of his family members were killed in Nazi death camps, but he escaped and was adopted by a Czech family. He received his MD and PhD from Charles University in Prague before carrying out post-doctoral research at Harvard Medical School from 1968-1970 and later specialty training in allergy and immunology at McGill University from 1970-1974.[1]
