Daniel Colón-Ramos, born and raised in Puerto Rico, completed his Bachelor of Arts at Harvard University and obtained his PhD from Duke University in the lab of Dr. Sally Kornbluth. He served as a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. Kang Shen at Stanford University. Colón-Ramos leads a lab focused on the assembly of synapses and the construction of neuronal architecture that underpins behavior. His research emphasizes the development of tools to investigate thermotactic circuits in C. elegans, utilizing unbiased genetic screens to discover novel pathways that direct synaptogenesis in vivo. Additionally, his work aims to understand the conserved mechanisms of synapse structure and function that are vital in higher organisms and are significant in the context of various diseases.
