معرفی
Daniel M. Stoebel is Professor of Biology at Harvey Mudd College, actively teaching molecular and evolutionary genetics courses while leading research on bacterial regulatory networks. His role spans laboratory instruction, seminar leadership, and interdisciplinary courses at the biology-humanities interface.
His academic foundation includes:
- B.A. in Biology from Pomona College
- Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolution from Stony Brook University
- Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Trinity College, University of Dublin
- Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Houston
Stoebel's research centers on *E. coli*'s RpoS transcription regulator, examining how its levels vary across strains and environments to influence transcriptomes, interact with other regulators, and evolve in pathogens. His work integrates molecular biology, physiology, and evolution, while his secondary focus explores history's role in science education to foster ethical judgment and social responsibility.
His publication record reveals a strong trajectory in bacterial gene regulation and evolution, with recent work expanding into bioinformatics tools like xenoGI for genomic island analysis. Articles consistently address transcriptional mechanisms, stress responses, and methodological innovations in RNA-Seq normalization.
Professor Stoebel actively mentors Claremont Colleges undergraduates, with students co-authoring publications across bacterial genetics, bioinformatics, and science education. His inclusive lab philosophy welcomes diverse backgrounds for hands-on research.
He maintains an active laboratory at Harvey Mudd investigating bacterial regulatory networks through molecular, genomic, and computational approaches, emphasizing real-world applications in pathogen evolution and scientific training.
