Bengt I. Samuelsson is a Swedish biochemist who won the 1982 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for his discoveries concerning prostaglandins and related biologically active substances. He studied medicine at the University of Lund, where he met his mentor Sune K. Bergström and began researching prostaglandins. After receiving his degrees, he joined Karolinska Institute in Stockholm and continued his research work with Bergström. He was able to describe the molecular structure of prostaglandins and show that the compound is derived from arachidonic acid. He also identified endoperoxides, thromboxanes and leukotrienes, and showed how arachidonic acid combines with oxygen to form prostaglandins.
