معرفی
Dr. Daniel Poppe is a Research Fellow at the School of Molecular Sciences, University of Western Australia, affiliated with the ARC Centre for Plant Energy Biology. He holds a PhD and a Diploma in Molecular Biomedicine from the University of Bonn, Germany, focusing on gene targeting in neural stem cells for neurological disorder research. His work integrates stem cell biology, neuroscience, genomics, and epigenetics to improve cell culture systems for biomedical applications. He specializes in epigenomic analysis, single-cell technologies, and reprogramming strategies to enhance stem cell functionality.
Key research interests include epigenetic regulation in stem cells, neuronal differentiation, and overcoming epigenetic memory in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) via novel reprogramming methods. He has contributed to groundbreaking studies like the 'Transient Naive Treatment (TNT)' reprogramming strategy and a world-first single-cell map of human brain gene activity across lifespan stages. His work addresses translational challenges in regenerative medicine and disease modeling.
Poppe has secured grants including NHMRC funding and leads projects on mature neuronal cell culture systems and multiple sclerosis research. Awards include the 2023 WA Near-Miss Emerging Leader Award and the Nigel Laing EMCR Publication Award. He actively engages in science communication, appearing in podcasts and public lectures, and serves on committees like the Harry Perkins EMCR group.
