Clark Lawrence Anderson, a physician and immunologist, is Professor Emeritus in the Division of Immunology and Rheumatology, Department of Internal Medicine, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, United States. His academic career has focused on the biological effects of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies that are mediated through the family of Fcγ receptors (a class of Fc receptors that are members of the immunoglobulin superfamily and bind IgG), as well as the functions of sinusoidal endothelial cells of the liver.

Anderson's research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health for more than 40 years [1] for fundamental research into medicine and biology. His contributions to biomedical research and immunology fall into four major groups:

Anderson's work on identifying and characterizing the the high affinity (CD64) and low affinity (CD32) Fc receptors for IgG on human monocytes and other cells has been influential [12] [13] Anderson, along with Dartmouth University faculty Paul Guyre, PhD [14], and Michael Fanger, PhD [15] developed and patented monoclonal antibodies 32 and IV.3, which bind human CD64 and CD32 respectively (US Patent US4954617A awarded in 1990) . Guyre and Fanger founded Medarex, which produced and marketed these two monoclonal antibodies. Medarex has since been acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb for 2.4 billion US$ [16]

These two antibodies, masb 32 and IV.3, have since been used as reference activating or blocking reagents in multiple subsequent studies on FcγR, e.g., work on soluble FcgRII [17] by Hogarth [18] and a study on anaphylaxis and thrombocytopenia in mice[19].

Anderson received his MD from the University of Chicago in 1964 and studied chemistry and biology, as an undergraduate, at the University of Arizona and Brown University respectively [20]. After postdoctoral work with Richard Farr and Percy Minden[21], and Howard Grey[22] at the National Jewish Hospital in Denver, CO he was tenured at the University of Rochester in 1982. In 1986 he moved to The Ohio State University (OSU) in Columbus, OH as Professor in the Departments of Internal Medicine, Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, and Molecular Genetics.

Notable among the students, postdoctoral fellows, and collaborators of Anderson laboratory is Jan GJ Van de Winkel[23], President and Chief Executive Officer of Genmab.
