Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Kranz is a PhD student at Northwestern University with eight years of research experience probing molecular mechanisms in neuroscience, currently characterizing a toxic amyloid-beta oligomer subtype linked to early Alzheimer’s disease. He combines rigorous wet-lab skills—mouse surgery, RT-qPCR, immunofluorescence, and colony management—with a background in biochemical assays from his undergraduate work on botulinum neurotoxins. Formerly a research technician and medical scribe, he brings disciplined data collection and clinical-facing documentation experience to translational research. A retired developer and application pentester who now codes and security-tests as a hobby, he offers an unusual blend of experimental biology and practical software/security intuition. Based in the Greater Chicago area, he leverages interdisciplinary training in biological sciences and psychology to connect molecular insights with broader neurological and behavioral questions.
