Jay Daniels

I am an internal medicine intern at Stanford University in the Translational Investigator Program interested in oncology.

I did my MD/PhD in the Northwestern Medical Scientist Training Program. My graduate work was in the Jaehyuk Choi lab, where I studied the genetics underlying T cell lymphomas of the skin and harnessed these mutations to dramatically enhance the efficacy of engineered T cells.

Extending this work toward clinical translation, I was the first employee and founding scientist at Moonlight Bio, a biotech developing enhanced cell therapies to target solid tumors.

I am interested in applying human genomics, protein engineering and synthetic biology to improve immune therapies for cancer. Please reach out to me at jay.daniels@stanford.edu.
