Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellow
Columbia University Irving Medical Center
Michael G. Daniel, MD, PhD is a current Molecular Genetic Pathology fellow in the Department of Pathology and Cell Biology at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center. He obtained his B.S. degree in molecular, cell and developmental biology as well as two minors in biomedical research and Spanish language at the University of California, Los Angeles. He subsequently received his MD and PhD degrees from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. His PhD dissertation research focused on the optimization of reprogramming human dermal fibroblasts to hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. He went on to complete his residency training in anatomic pathology and clinical pathology as well as fellowship training in Hematopathology at the New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Irving Medical Center. His research interests include elucidation of the molecular mechanisms that underly various hematopoietic malignancies, in vitro disease modeling and therapeutic discovery using stem cell reprogramming technologies and the molecular consequences of hematopoietic stem cell aging.
