Professional Statement

Originally from Bartlesville, Oklahoma, Daniel grew up in the Houston area. After attending the University of Texas at Austin for his bachelor's degree, he pursued combined M.D., Ph.D. training at the University of Texas Medical Scientist Training Program at Houston. While a resident in the Baylor College of Medicine Child Neurology program, he helped identify several novel disease-gene associations (e.g. EIF2AK2, NRROS, CSTB). During his research year in the ABPN Basic Neuroscience Track he is working with Dr. James R. Lupski to identify additional novel neuromuscular and neurodevelopmental disease genes.
