Daniel Mazraeh is a PhD candidate in biotechnology at the University of Freiburg with six years of hands-on experience at the interface of synthetic biology, neuroscience, and structural biology. He brings a systems-engineering mindset to biological problems, blending electrophysiology, optogenetic pharmacology, advanced imaging, and molecular diagnostics to probe ion channels and intercellular connections. Daniel has practical bench expertise—from TEVC and patch-clamp to RNA microinjection and qPCR—plus computational contributions as an ML engineer enhancing 3D U-Net pipelines and augmentation for the popular ZeroCostDL4Mic microscopy toolkit. Based in Freiburg, he combines rigorous academic training from Université Paris-Saclay and Université Grenoble Alpes with a proven ability to improve reproducibility and maintainability in both lab and code. Notably, his work spans from implementing photoswitched ligands to integrating image-augmentation libraries, showing fluency across experimental and computational domains.
