Timothy John Mitchison FRS is a cell biologist and systems biologist and Hasib Sabbagh Professor of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School in the United States.[6][7][8] He is known for his discovery, with Marc Kirschner, of dynamic instability in microtubules,[9][10] for studies of the mechanism of cell division, and for contributions to chemical biology.[11]
