Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778), ennobled as Carl von Linné, is one of Uppsala University's most renowned professors. He served as professor of medicine from 1741, pioneering modern taxonomy and binomial nomenclature. His work revolutionized biological classification, emphasizing systematic approaches to plants, animals, and minerals.
Research interests centered on botany, taxonomy, and natural resource utilization. He developed the binomial system (e.g., Homo sapiens), formalized in Species Plantarum (1753) and Systema Naturae (10th ed., 1758). His methods blended fieldwork, global networks, and innovative teaching.
