Olke C. Uhlenbeck is a Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry at the University of Colorado Boulder[1] and at Northwestern University.[2][3]

His research group has led to many breakthroughs in RNA biochemistry, including the enzymatic synthesis of RNAs from synthetic DNA templates using T7 RNA polymerase.[4][better source needed] Olke was a founding member of the RNA Society.[5] His father was theoretical physicist George Uhlenbeck.
