Hi! I’m Carter W. Daniels, Ph.D. I was born and raised in Lexington, KY along with my fraternal twin brother Joe Daniels (he has a PhD in Geography and is a great photographer). After finishing my bachelors education at the University of Kentucky where I completed a senior thesis with Dr. Thomas Zentall, I briefly backpacked around Iceland before starting graduate school at Arizona State University under the mentorship of Dr. Federico Sanabria. Though I researched many topics–cementing my penchant for research ADHD–I completed my masters on computational and my dissertation on procedural dissociations of motivation and time perception. After finishing graduate school, I briefly lived in Madagascar with my wife Katharine Thompson (an amazing scientist and illustrator who earned her PhD in Anthropology in May 2022) before completing a post-doc under the mentorship of Dr. Peter Balsam and Dr. Eleanor Simpson. I then jumpedto industry, joining Prevail Therapeutics/Eli Lilly and co where I was a Quantitiative Scientist\Advisor - Statistics & Modeling & Data Informaticist bringing all of my knowledge and skills to bear on developing gene therapies for genetically-associated neural disorders. Currently, I am a Senior Principal Biostatistician at Novartis in Cambridge, MA consulting on pre-clinical studies and bioassay development. I design studies and do stats, paying close attention to how the stats help usher the drug development pipeline. When I’m not working, I’m with family or friends, and sometimes chewing through the backlog of my academic career.
