Henry A. Lardy (1917 to 2010) was an American biochemist and professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison whose research focused on the mechanisms underlying cellular metabolism. He helped develop the adjustable micropipette still used in laboratories today, contributed to methods for storing and preserving semen that improved livestock artificial insemination, and coined the term cytosol for the fluid inside a cell outside its organelles; he received the Wolf Prize in Agriculture in 1981.
