Arsenic Disrupts Neuritogenesis through Dysregulation of Neuronal Cytoskeleton
Daniel received his B.S. from the University of Vermont in Biology and Animal Science. While working in the immunodiagnositics industry he earned a M.S. in immunology and molecular biology at the University of Southern Maine. Currently, Daniel conducts his doctoral research at the Maine Center for Toxicology and Environmental Health at the University of Southern Maine under the mentorship of Dr. Douglas Currie. His doctoral research investigates the molecular alterations in developing neurons exposed to the metal arsenic and the resulting impact on neuritogenesis.
Daniel has also conducted genetic studies in mouse models of autoimmunity and investigated the effect of the metals beryllium and arsenic on the functional responses of lymphocytes. His current research interests include immunotoxicology, autoimmunity, neurodevelopmental toxicology, and neuroimmunology.
