Dan Shapiro

Daniel Shapiro is from Chicago, Illinois and graduated from Yale University in 2018 with a double major in Physics and Molecular Biology. At Yale, he worked on making E. coli produce conductive protein wires with professors Farren Isaacs and Nikhil Malvankar. In the Chilkoti lab Daniel works on creating synthetic biomolecular condensates, trying to get proteins and RNA to clump together with the eventual goal of creating simple artificial organelles. Outside of lab, Daniel enjoys playing with his funk/jazz band, Feels on Hicks St., skiing, cooking, and hopes to become more ~outdoorsy~ while in North Carolina.
