معرفی
Jaspreet Kaur Daniil is an Assistant Professor at the Center for Translational Neuromedicine (CTN) within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. She also serves as a Guest Researcher in the Department of Neuroscience, focusing on Neuronal Signalling. Her academic journey spans institutions across Europe and India, with a strong foundation in biophysics and neurobiology.
Dr. Daniil's educational background includes:
- PhD in Neurobiology from Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA), Trieste, Italy (2013-2017)
- Master of Science in Biophysics from Panjab University, Chandigarh, India (2010-2012)
- Bachelor of Science in Biophysics from Panjab University, Chandigarh, India (2007-2010)
Her research focuses on unraveling the complex motor system, particularly examining how movement is generated in mammals and orchestrated from the brain to the spinal cord. Dr. Daniil employs advanced techniques including Adeno-associated viruses (AAV), optogenetics, in vivo electrophysiology, and chronic neural implants such as optical fibers and high-density probes in rodent models. Her work spans multiple model systems including adult rats (in-vivo) and post-mortem human spinal cord tissue, with particular emphasis on understanding spinal population dynamics during locomotion and movement arrest.
Analysis of Dr. Daniil's research publications reveals a strong focus on neural interfaces, motor control systems, and neural regeneration. Her work bridges the gap between basic neuroscience and translational applications, particularly in developing novel approaches for spinal cord injury treatment and neural repair. The recurring themes in her research include optogenetic manipulation of neural circuits, development of advanced neural interfaces, and understanding the fundamental mechanisms of motor control.
Dr. Daniil has received several prestigious awards and grants throughout her career:
- PhD fellowship from International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA)
- FENS-IBRO/PERC Grant
- A.P. Møller Fonden Grant for Medical Science Advancement
- Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering at national level in India
- Special Student trophy from SISSA
- Federation of European Neuroscience Virtual Forum Grant
Her collaborative work with Dr. Rune W. Berg has been particularly influential in advancing our understanding of motor control systems. Dr. Daniil's research has significant implications for developing therapeutic interventions for movement disorders and spinal cord injuries. She works within interdisciplinary teams that combine expertise in neuroscience, engineering, and clinical medicine to translate basic research findings into potential clinical applications.
