 Molecular Systems Simulation Neuroscience |
Daniel Keller is the Group Leader of the Molecular Systems team in the Simulation Neuroscience Division.
His work focuses on modeling of astrocytes within the cortical column, subcellular modeling of neurons, and determination of molecular properties of neurons. Daniel holds a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford and a Masters in Molecular Biology from the University of Texas at Austin. His PhD in Neuroscience was achieved with the Computational Neurobiology Laboratory at the Salk Institute, UCSD. During his studies, Daniel was initiated into Phi Beta Kappa and was a Merck Fellow in 2002-2003.
