Artur Lind (6 April 1927, Vändra – 30 November 1989, Tartu) [1] was an Estonian biologist and is considered to be the founder of molecular biology in Estonia. [2]

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. [3]

He is credited with the discovery of 5S ribosomal RNA. [3]

His remains are buried in Vana-Jaani cemetery in Tartu. [4] The Sepapaja 6 office building in Ülemiste City is named after Artur Lind. [2]
