Richard Cotton (geneticist)
}}
Richard Cotton (10 November 1940 – 14 June 2015) was an Australian medical researcher and founder of the Murdoch Institute and the Human Variome Project.〔http://tributes.theage.com.au/obituaries/theage-au/obituary.aspx?n=richard-graham-cotton&pid=175081928〕〔http://www.legacy.com/guestbooks/theage-au/richard-graham-cotton-condolences/175081928?cid=full〕〔http://www.legacy.com/guestbooks/theage-au/richard-g-cotton-dick-condolences/175113727?cid=full〕 Cotton focused on the prevention and treatment of genetic disorders and birth defects.
As a genetic researcher, he was instrumental in the development of techniques to produce monoclonal antibodies, and his diagnostic techniques and research into diseases such as Phenylketonuria have been fundamental to the early detection of affected individuals which has often lead to life-saving interventions and the prevention of further disease progression. He was a pioneer in the field of Mutation Detection, developing methods for the chemical and enzymatic detection of human genetic mutations. Cotton was one of the first to recognize the need to document the extent of all human genetic variation in order to investigate, treat and prevent human disease. As the Founder and Scientific Director of the Human Variome Project, he has led the world in developing ways to collect, curate, interpret and share information on the genetic changes that underlie both inherited and complex disease. By working with clinicians, diagnostic labs and national governments around the world to make information on genetic variations and their effect on patients freely and openly available, the Human Variome Project enables universal access to knowledge that can be used to prevent, diagnose and treat all human disease.
== Early life ==
Cotton was raised at Kelwhr, a farm at South Wangaratta, Victoria, Australia which was predominantly a citrus grove, with cattle as well. The produce from the orchard funded his education as a Boarder at Melbourne Grammar School (where Richard Cotton went on to be appointed onto the Old Melburnians Council. Cotton has donated part of his farm to Trust for Nature, to ensure the land is preserved in its natural state for future generations. Cotton was also a Trustee on the Board of Trustees of the Trust for Nature organisation. Whilst on the Board of Trustees, Cotton launched an initiative with the of the Rural City of Wangaratta's in partnership with Trust for Nature to encourage land owners to undertake permanent protection of remnants of land abutting the Warby Ranges and to ensure their management of these remnants of land is consistent with advice provided by the relevant Trust for Nature Regional Manager. He also remains a foundation supporter of the Glenrowan Football Club.
