Dr. Danial obtained his D.Phil. in Physical and Theoretical Chemistry from the University of Oxford as a Weidenfeld-Louis Dreyfus scholar under the supervision of Professor Mark I Wallace (now Professor of Chemistry at King's College London). Subsequently, he joined the group of Professor Ana Garcia-Saez (now Director at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysics) at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and the Interfaculty Institute of Biochemistry at the University of Tuebingen as a Max Planck Society-funded postdoctoral research fellow. He later transitioned to the University of Cambridge as an EISAI and UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) funded postdoctoral research associate in the group of Professor Sir David Klenerman FRS (Royal Society Research Professor) at the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry and the UK DRI at the University of Cambridge. He also held positions as a College Research Associate (CRA) at King's College, Cambridge, and a Bye Fellow at Homerton College, Cambridge.
Biology and disease are heterogenous. It is hard to visualise, quantify, and qualify this heterogeneity at the structural and ultra-structural levels, within single proteins and protein assemblies, and in human and cellular samples. We are a research lab developing new instrumentation, assays, and software to push single molecule and super resolution microscopy towards structural imaging one-molecule-at-a-time. Together with collaborators, we aim to democratise these technologies and use them to study the molecular architecture of cellular complexes, from the Kinetochore to pore-forming proteins, and human diseases, from neurodegenerative to immune disorders in living human samples.
