Raymond J. Shamberger (23 August 1934 – 2 July 2022) was an American biochemist and cancer researcher.
Shamberger joined the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in 1969 and was head of the Clinic's enzymology section.[1] He was director of King James Medical Laboratory.[2] Shamberger became a member of the American Institute for Cancer Research in 1972.[3] He originated the hypothesis that selenium may protect against cancer and correlated selenium levels in crops with cancer mortality.[4][5]
In 1987, Shamberger was accused of plagiarizing a 1982 National Academy of Sciences report for his 1984 book Nutrition and Cancer.[6] He resigned from his position at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation on June 30.[1] Plenum Press withdrew the book from publication.[6]
His 1983 book Biochemistry of Selenium was positively reviewed in academic journals.[7][8][9]
