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.
