Daniel Pomeranz Krummel, PhD, is a faculty member of the Department of Neurology and Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Cincinnati and a member of the Brain Tumor Center, Gardner Neuroscience Institute. Daniel completed his doctoral training in Biochemistry at Yale University under Professor Sidney Altman. He then pursued post-graduate training in the X-ray crystallography of large macromolecular complexes at the Medical Research Council’s Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK (2000-2008). At the MRC, Daniel collaborated with Drs. Kiyoshi Nagai and Chris Oubridge to determine the initial structure of a small nuclear RNA-protein complex (Pomeranz Krummel et al., Nature, 2009). Daniel has a long-standing research interest in gene expression mechanisms and RNA processing. More recently, he has studied the contribution of membrane transport proteins to cancer development and as anti-cancer targets, particularly in brain cancers and cancers that frequently metastasize to the brain.
