Daniel Canals

Daniel Canals is a Researcher in the Department of Medicine at Renaissance School of Medicine, Stony Brook University. His research focuses on lipid signaling and metabolism in cancer progression and metastasis.

• Education: BS and PhD in Biochemistry from Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (2004)

Dr. Canals investigates the molecular mechanisms of sphingolipids in cancer biology. His work includes:

• Designing sphingolipid enzyme inhibitors to induce cancer cell death
• Studying protein phosphatases and kinases as downstream targets of ceramide and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)
• Exploring cytoskeleton reorganization during cancer progression and metastasis
