Daniel Janies
Daniel Janies (born Daniel Andrew Janies) is an American scientist who has made significant contributions in the field of evolutionary biology and on the development of tools for the study of evolution and spread of pathogens.[1][2] He is involved with research for the United States Department of Defense, and has advised multiple instances of the government on methods for disease surveillance.
Education and career
Daniel Janies graduated in 1988 from the University of Michigan, where he received his Bachelor of Sciences in Biology. He then pursued a PhD in Zoology at the University of Florida, which he completed in 1995. From 1996 until 2002 he was involved at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, initially as a postdoctoral fellow (until 1999) and then as principal investigator (until 2002).[citation needed]
His career as a faculty member started at the College of Medicine at the Ohio State University from 2003 until 2012, and lately he transitioned to the Department of Bioinformatics and Genomics of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte where he received the title of The Carol Grotnes Belk Distinguished Professor of Bioinformatics and Genomics.[3][4]
