Biography
Terje Dokland (b. 1963), Associate Professor of Microbiology, received his Ph.D. from the University of Oslo, Norway in 1993 on a joint program with the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg. His Ph.D. work involved cryo-electron microscopy and 3D reconstruction on the bacteriophages P2, P4 and lambda, and was done with Dr. Stephen D. Fuller at EMBL and Björn H. Lindqvist at the University of Oslo. From 1994-1998 he carried out postdoctoral studies with Dr. Michael G. Rossmann at Purdue University where he continued his studies on bacteriophage assembly using X-ray crystallographic methods. In 1998, Dr. Dokland joined the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (formerly Institute of Molecular Agrobiology) in Singapore as a senior scientist. He remained in Singapore until 2004, when he joined the faculty at the Department of Microbiology at UAB. Dr. Dokland operates the cryo-EM facility at UAB. His outside interests include mountain biking, squash, oil painting, electric guitars, wine and international cuisine.
