Professor of Biological Sciences, Ph.D. Microbiology 1993, Southern Illinois University. Prior to joining the CSUSM biology faculty in fall 1997, Dr. Wahlund was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Microbiology at The Ohio State University. Dr. Wahlund's area of expertise is in microbial physiology and genetics. Current project areas include (1) Identification and regulation of genes and proteins involved in biomineralization and calcification in marine coccolithophorid algae, and (2) Regulation of genes and proteins involved in carbon acquisition and metabolism in photosynthetic microorganisms.
