a physicist-turned-neurobiologist, Daniel earned his PhD at Harvard with Adam Cohen, pioneering tools to map bioelectric phenomena from bacteria to brains, and then led their translation as chief scientific officer of Q-State (now Quiver) Biosciences. as a junior fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows, working with Bernardo Sabatini and Michael Greenberg, he integrated molecular, circuit, and quantitative behavioral approaches to show how sensory experience and hormonal state reshape neural circuitry.

his lab now investigates how circulating signals like hormones coordinate brain and body, and why this coupling frays with aging and disease. by uncovering the rules of this body-brain communication, the lab aims to harness these potent, naturally evolved pathways as new strategies to protect brain health, preserve cognitive function, and treat neurological disease.
