Daniel Dawson Murray

Daniel Dawson Murray serves as an External Lecturer for the Master of Personalized Medicine program at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, based at the Blegdamsvej 3B campus in Copenhagen N.

His research centers on genetic and immunological determinants of HIV progression, with expertise in type 1 interferon pathway polymorphisms and viral load dynamics in antiretroviral-naïve populations. Key interests include personalized approaches to infectious disease management, host-pathogen genetic interactions, and biomarker discovery for HIV treatment response.

His 2024 co-authored study in AIDS Research and Therapy established significant correlations between interferon-related gene variants and HIV viral load, contributing to precision medicine frameworks for early-stage HIV infection. This work emerged from large-scale international collaborations including the INSIGHT FIRST and START study groups.
