Claude Alvin Villee Jr. (9 February 1917, Lancaster, Pennsylvania – 7 August 2003) was an American biologist and long-time teacher at Harvard University.
Born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Villee studied in the Franklin and Marshall College and later the University of California.[1] He began teaching in 1941 at Berkeley as a research assistant before becoming an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina. He wrote his first book during this period, on request: a biology textbook that eventually saw eight editions and translation into six languages.[1] Thereafter, Villee worked at Harvard University as a teacher from 1946 until his retirement as Andelot Professor of Biological Chemistry in 1991. During this time, he authored or co-authored 350 publications.[1]
