um höfundinn
Halldór Þormar lauk mag. scient.-prófi í frumulíffræði
frá Kaupmannahafnarháskóla árið 1956 og varð dr. phil.
frá sama skóla árið 1966 fyrir rannsóknir á mæði-visnu-
veiru. Hann starfaði við Tilraunastöð Háskóla Íslands í
meinafræði á Keldum árin 1957–1960 og 1962–1967, við
Statens Seruminstitut í Kaupmannahöfn 1960–1962 og
við Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Cientificas í
Caracas, Venesúela, 1965–1966.
Hann var forstöðumaður á veirufræðideild New York
State Institute for Basic Research in Developmental
Disabilities í New York 1967–1985 og prófessor í frumu-
líffræði við Raunvísindadeild Háskóla Íslands 1985–1999.
