While the Telling Laboratory is particularly recognized for their work on transgenic mouse modeling of prion diseases, it 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. Over the years, we have been recognized for our studies of human prions, the molecular basis of the species barrier, prion strains and their zoonotic potential, and, more recently, chronic wasting disease (CWD) of cervids.
Our ability to liaise and collaborate with the prion community is also significant. In combination with skills and perspectives provided by our talented collaborators, the Telling Laboratory is in a unique position to investigate the molecular events underlying prion propagation, species barriers and strains, which remain the overarching goals of Dr. Telling’s research program.

Julie Sun, a Cell & Molecular Biology graduate candidate in the Telling Lab of CSU’s Prion Research Center was selected for the 2022 Think Like a Freak Award.
Arielle Hay became a 2021 – 2022 VPR research fellow after presenting her research during the 3 Minute Challenge.
A new model developed by the CSU research team led by Glenn Telling, shows chronic wasting disease (CDW) is capable of cross-species transmission.
