Daniel Pascal

Daniel Pascal is a fourth-year graduate student, pursuing a PhD in Biological Engineering in the Voigt Lab. Daniel is using synthetic biology to develop a new treatment for bacteria-associated gastrointestinal infections, engineering a commercially available probiotic to deliver antimicrobial peptides that target pathogens in the gut but leave the native microbiome intact. Daniel is excited to use synthetic biology to redesign microbes for additional therapeutic applications in the future.
