After graduating from Princeton University (1945), Potter received his M.D. from the University of Virginia (1949). During the Korean War, he served as a medical officer. In 1954, Potter joined the National Cancer Institute (NCI). During his decades at NCI, he served as chief of the Immunochemistry Section of the Laboratory of Cell Biology and the Laboratory of Genetics. As a chief, he enjoyed independent resources, and could focus on his research without too great of an administrative burden. From the very beginning, he exchanged ideas, material, and work with colleagues.
