Harvey Akio Itano (November 3, 1920 – May 8, 2010) was an American biochemist best known for his work on the molecular basis of sickle cell anemia and other diseases.
In collaboration with Linus Pauling, Itano used electrophoresis to demonstrate the difference between normal hemoglobin and sickle cell hemoglobin; their 1949 paper "Sickle Cell Anemia, a Molecular Disease" (coauthored also with S.
J.
Singer and Ibert C.
Wells) was a landmark in both molecular medicine and protein electrophoresis. In 1979, Itano became the first Japanese American elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences (in the Genetics section).
Itano was an emeritus professor of pathology at the University of California, San Diego.
Itano died in La Jolla, California of complications from Parkinson's disease.
