Daniel Strimling

Daniel Strimling has a strong background in genetic engineering and plant biotechnology. Daniel'smost recent role was as a Senior Research Associate at Viridos, where they were involved in genomic engineering of a proprietary algal strain with a focus on improving lipid productivity and other characteristics of interest. Prior to that, they worked as a Research Associate at SGI-DNA, where they contributed to the optimization of a bacterial strain through genetic engineering. Daniel also worked as a Plant Biotech Researcher at Intrexon Corporation, conducting a project to measure the ability of different plant promoters to drive protein expression in Arabidopsis thaliana. Additionally, they gained experience as a Biotech Research Assistant at Browne Lab (UC Davis, Plant Pathology), assisting with a project to identify and study a pathogenic microorganism affecting walnut orchards. Throughout their roles, Daniel demonstrated proficiency in various techniques including DNA extraction, PCR amplification, gel electrophoresis, and cloning.

Daniel Strimling completed their Bachelor of Science degree in Biotechnology with a plant emphasis at the University of California, Davis, from 2012 to 2016. Daniel then pursued a Master of Science degree in Biotechnology with a concentration in Bioinformatics at the Johns Hopkins University Advanced Academic Programs from 2018 to 2019.
