Edward C. Franklin (April 14, 1928 – February 20, 1982) was a pioneering American immunologist and physician. He made major gains in the studies of the aging process with a discovery of a protein known as amyloid, and played a key role in the fight against arthritis. Franklin was a professor of medicine at the New York University School of Medicine, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, president of the American Society for Clinical Investigation, and director of Irvington House Institute. The New York Times called Franklin "an international authority on the human immune system".
