Daniel J. Nolan

Dr. Nolan is Director of External Research at Angiocrine Bioscience. Alumni of Stony Brook University, Daniel remained there for his graduate studies ultimately performing his research in the laboratory of Dr. Vivek Mittal. Dr. Mittal fostered Daniel’s interest in vascular biology with work centered on the temporal contribution of endothelial progenitor cells to tumor vasculature. His exposure to a wide range of technology led to his recruitment by Dr. Shahin Rafii at Weill Cornell Medical College. This became fertile grounds for advances as Dr. Rafii’s team was rapidly accelerating their understanding of the capacities of the E-CEL™ platform and Daniel was transforming the technological landscape of protocols within the laboratory to achieve these advances. His own work focused on the distinctions between the endothelial cells of the various tissues. The protocols he developed were the foundations to establish a series of tissue-specific microvascular endothelial cells. An accomplished flow cytometrist and microscopist, Daniel continues his characterizations of distinct populations of endothelial cells at Angiocrine Bioscience.
