Mr Daniel Ranson

PhD Student

Daniel is qualified HCPC and IBMS registered Biomedical Scientist after graduating from the University of East London with a 1st class honour degree. After a brief period working in the Royal London Hospital, Daniel focussed and specialised in identifying the molecular mechanisms of alcohol related addicitve behaviours in the Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) by completing a Master of Research degree (MRes) at the University of East London. Daniel was generously awarded a PhD studentship from the Society for the Study of Addiction in 2017, and he is currently building upon his MRes work by undertaking a PhD under the supervison of Dr Stefano Casalotti. Daniel is focussing on contributing further to understanding the molecular mechanisms of alcohol related behaviours in the Drosophila melanogaster.
