Adam Telleen Ph.D.?
Adam Telleen is finishing a Ph.D. in Plant Biology with an emphasis in Molecular
and Cellular Biology at the University of California, Davis in the laboratory of
Valerie
Williamson in the Department of Nematology. 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 numerous 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 three cats.
