Artur Lind
Artur Lind was an Estonian biologist and is considered to be the founder of molecular biology in Estonia.
Lind studied to be a surgeon at the University of Tartu. Due to an allergic reaction to analgesics used at the time, he was unable to continue working as a surgeon and moved to the faculty of biochemistry instead.
He is credited with the discovery of 5S ribosomal RNA.
His remains are buried in Vana-Jaani cemetery in Tartu. The Sepapaja 6 office building in Ülemiste City is named after Artur Lind.
