Casey Daniels B.S. Biochemistry ’10
Casey went on to get a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, awarded in 2015. Her doctoral work produced a mass spectrometry-based pipeline which enables the site-specific identification of protein ADP-ribosylation sites, an important advance for the study of both basic cell biology and for the advancement of precision medicine in the chemotherapeutic application of PARP (Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase) inhibitors. She has continued this work as a post-doctoral fellow at the National Institutes of Health, in the Laboratory of Immune System Biology, where she is studying poly(ADP-ribose) in the innate immune response and the tumor microenvironment.
