Daniel Lefever Email & Phone Number

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

Identified tissue selective gene therapy vectors using a combination of statistical and ML approaches (linear modelling, clustering, etc.); this lead to a multi-million dollar licensing agreementDeveloped pipeline to identify gene therapy vector cell-type specificity and biological outcomes of integration using novel multi-modal single cell sequencing.

Was sole bioinformatics/systems/computational biology expert in team who managed a project performing computational drug discovery using large transcriptome datasets Independently generated and then tested novel scientific hypotheses by identifying the appropriate statistical & machine learning methods Performed numerous analyses on large patient datasets.

Veterinary Biosciences & Diagnostic Imaging

Designed and conducted independent research projects examining mechanisms of environmental contaminant toxicity in disease models, which required the use of a variety of bioinformatic, molecular biology, and basic lab animal techniques. Implemented a variety of statistical approaches, including Principal Coordinate, Linear Discriminant, and hierarchical.

Center For Food Safety

Assisted with a variety different projects which sought to characterize food borne pathogens in food. Predominately utilized traditional microbiological techniques to identify pathogen presence and abundance in various poultry food products. Was responsible for both the acquisition and processing of a variety of field samples from numerous.
