California State University, Sacramento - Sac State Department of Biological Sciences -- American River College - ARC Biology Department Adam on Pyramid Peak

Adam Telleen Ph.D.

Adam Telleen has a Ph.D. in Plant Biology with an emphasis in Molecular
and Cellular Biology from the University of California, Davis. He also did his
undergraduate work at UC Davis, earning a B.S. degree in Biotechnology with a
plant emphasis in 2000. Over his academic career, he has worked in several research
labs studying a variety of plant systems including Arabidopsis, cotton, rice, and
tomato and employing varied approaches from field work to molecular techniques
and bioinformatics. In addition, he has mentored numerous graduate, undergraduate,
and high school students in the laboratory, which made him realize that teaching,
not research, was his true calling. Currently, Adam is focusing primarily on
teaching as an Adjunct Professor at both California State University, Sacramento
and American River College. When he isn't teaching, he is usually hanging out with
his cats, playing guitar, reading, hiking, or climbing mountains. He lives in
Woodland with his wife and four cats.
