During his undergraduate studies, Daniel discovered that he was most fascinated in scientific research, which led to an invitation to work as a student researcher by the IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence, funded by the National Institutes of Health. He has contributed to the scientific community in an array of intriguing projects including the identification of hypervirulent strains of Clostridium difficile to better understand its communicability between canines and humans, temperature-dependent sex determination of sea turtles, and bile salt germination of bacillus anthracis.
