L. Daniel Howell

L. Daniel Howell is an Associate Professor of Biology at Liberty University, where he has been a faculty member since 2003. He belongs to the School of Health Sciences and the Department of Biology and Chemistry. His research focuses on cystic fibrosis biochemistry, and he is currently developing a research program at Liberty University. Dr. Howell’s career began with a postdoctoral position at Duke University Medical Center.

Dr. Howell’s academic background includes a postdoctoral fellowship at Duke University Medical Center. Details about his undergraduate and graduate education are not explicitly provided in the text.

His primary research interests revolve around understanding the molecular mechanisms of cystic fibrosis, particularly the regulation of the CFTR protein by kinases and phosphatases. He also investigates broader areas such as enzyme regulation, cellular physiology, and microbiology. Earlier work explored protein phosphorylation in cyanobacteria and bacterial responses to environmental stressors like copper toxicity.

His research publications span topics from CFTR regulation to microbial stress responses. Notable contributions include studies on protein kinase A and phosphatase interactions with CFTR, as well as a book addressing health-related lifestyle topics. His work demonstrates a focus on both clinical and environmental biological systems.
