Per Villand (Hovet, Buskerud, 15 October 1963 – 15 October 2007) was a Norwegian molecular biologist,[1] who contributed to a further development of molecular plant science[2][3][4] until 1999, when he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. During his illness he assisted medical professionals to research ALS, and developed, together with Lillehammer University College[5][6], his own idea to create the documentary: "A meaningful life in a paralytic body ~ Living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis", which was produced and released in 2005. He died on October 15, 2007, at the age of 44.[7]
Studies[edit]
At the University of Tromsø, Per Villand was Candidatus Magisterii in biology from 1985 to 1987, was Candidatus Scientiarum in Molecular Biology from 1988 to 1989 and received his Cand.scient. degree[8][9] in 1990. In 1990 he worked as a staff engineer at the Department of Cell Biology of the University of Tromsø. At the Norwegian University of Life Sciences Per Villand was studying for the title Doctor Scientiarum in Molecular Plant Biology from 1990 to 1995. He received the title Doctor Scientiarum, or Dr.scient., a Norwegian term for Doctor of Science, at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences in 1995.[10]
Scientific accomplishments[edit]
Per Villand contributed to the advancing of molecular plant science. He participated in international teams of investigators at the University of Tromsø in Norway, the Michigan State University in USA, the Umeå University in Sweden, and the department of Plant Biology of the Carnegie Institution for Science, Stanford, CA, USA. As a postdoctoral researcher he worked from 1995 to 1997 at Umeå University in Sweden and from 1998 to 1999 he researched plant science at the department of Plant Biology of the Carnegie Institution for Science, Stanford, CA, US. From 1999 to 2000 he was research assistant at the Umeå University[11][12], in Sweden.
He received a patent for Transgenic organism[13] and for Transgenic plants or algae expressing an AGP enzyme coupled to a transit peptide[14] When in 1999 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis was diagnosed he researched this disease, together with medical professionals, till he passed away on October 15, 2007, because of the transition to end-of-life care in the terminal phase of the disease.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis[edit]
In 1999 Per Villand was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. At the end of 2005 he was paralysed for 90%: only the eye muscles were not affected. After planning the transition to end-of-life care in the terminal phase of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, he passed away on his birthday, October 15, 2007.
Documentary[edit]
In the documentary "Eit meiningsfylt liv i ein lam kropp – Å leve med Amyotrofisk lateral sklerose (ALS)" / A meaningful life in a paralytic body – Living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis[15][16][17] Per Villand shares his experiences and thoughts about his illness in several different topics. Nurses, doctors, relatives and other involved, contribute with information and comments.

Book[edit]
During his illness Per Villand was able to communicate and write by means of an eye-tracker and a computer.[19] In this way he could write a book of 300 pages (gallery) and build a website[20] about two historical locations, named Søre Villand and Raggsteindalen, in the traditional district of Hallingdal.
