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]
