Dr Glenn Telling
Director, Professor at Prion Research Center, Colorado State University
The overarching goal of Dr. Telling’s research program is to study the mechanism of prion replication, prion species barriers and strain diversity, and the molecular basis of inherited human prion diseases.
His involvement in prion disease research began as a trainee with Nobel Laureate Stanley Prusiner. He subsequently worked as an independent investigator at the UK Medical Research Council Prion Unit, and at the Sanders Brown Center on Aging at the University of Kentucky.
Dr. Telling currently directs the Prion Research Center (PRC) at Colorado State University where he is also a Professor in the Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Pathology. The Telling lab is one of only a handful of research groups with the resources and expertise for studying prion diseases using whole animal, transgenic, cell biological, biochemical, and molecular genetic approaches.
