Jeffrey Ravetch is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Immunologist who elucidated the role of antibody Fc receptors in immunity
Ravetch defined the family of antibody Fc receptors and showed how they switch immune responses between activation and suppression, reshaping immunology and antibody-based therapy. Raised in Brooklyn, he leads a laboratory at Rockefeller University; he is listed among Jewish biomedical scientists by Jinfo.org, though his biographies do not further detail this background. His work guides the design of therapeutic antibodies.
