Kristen Eik-Nes

Kristen Borgar Dahler Eik-Nes (28 September 1922 23 February 1992) was a Norwegian medical scientist, known for his contributions to androgen research. He was born in Sparbu, the son of Nina Eik-Nes and Knut Eik-Nes. As a young boy he suffered from serious illness which delayed his education. During the German occupation of Norway he was a member of Milorg, and eventually a regional Milorg leader. He was appointed professor at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City from 1958, and later at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. From 1972 he was professor in biophysics at the Norwegian Institute of Technology in Trondheim. His hobbies included climbing and motor sport, and he was a passionate art collector.[1][2]
