Daniel H. Cohn

Daniel H. Cohn is a Professor at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) in two departments: Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology and Orthopaedic Surgery. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying genetic skeletal disorders, including osteogenesis imperfecta, chondrodysplasias, and ciliopathies.

His work spans genetic mutation analysis, signaling pathway characterization, and translational studies using mouse models. Recent publications highlight his contributions to understanding FGF signaling, TGFβ/BMP modulation, and collagen biosynthesis in skeletal development.

Scientific trends in his publications include genotype-phenotype correlations in skeletal dysplasias, exome sequencing applications, and therapeutic interventions for connective tissue disorders. Collaborations with international consortia like the University of Washington Center for Mendelian Genomics underscore his role in global genetic research efforts.
