Charles Kurland
Charles Gabriel Kurland (born 14 January 1936) is an American-born Swedish biochemist.
Kurland earned a doctorate in 1961 at Harvard University, advised by James D. Watson.[1][2] Kurland accepted a postdoctoral research position at the Microbiology Institute of the University of Copenhagen, then joined the Uppsala University faculty in 1971.[2] He retired from Uppsala in 2001, and was granted emeritus status.[3] He was later affiliated with Lund University.[2][4][5]
Kurland was elected to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1988 as a foreign member, and reclassified as a Swedish member in 2002.[6] The Estonian Academy of Sciences recognized his achievements in biochemistry, and awarded Kurland an equivalent honor in 1991.[3]
