Daniel is the lead scientist developing the Institute for Precision Medicine’s patient-derived organoid (PDO) biobank, now under the umbrella of the Organoid Research Core.
He received his Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and has spent the past 13 years working with primary and metastatic human breast cancer tissues and cultures derived from patient surgeries and tissue-donation autopsies. He has worked collaboratively with the Lee/Oesterreich lab throughout their time at Magee-Womens Research Institute (and now at The Assembly at Hillman Cancer Center), which organically lead to his current position in the IPM and the creation of the PDO program.
