Daniel Hwang, PhD

Postdoctoral Fellow

I obtained my PhD in Immunology from Thomas Jefferson University in 2023, working with Bogoljub Ciric on developing a novel therapy for preferentially targeting inflammatory myeloid cells in the CNS while preserving homeostatic myeloid cells. In my master’s and undergraduate research at Drexel University, I worked with Elias Spiliotis, where I studied how the septin cytoskeleton maintains sub-membranous domains in epithelial polarization and abscission in mammalian cells. My research interests are in developing novel, next-generation therapeutics that can safely and effectively alleviate disease burden in cancers and autoimmunity.

Outside of the lab, I enjoy watching movies and shows and thinking about the stories they tell, exercising, and spending time with my wife and daughter!
