Personal Statement

Professor Daniels has been at The College of Idaho since 2009. He teaches Neurobiology, Cell Biology, Genetics, Frontiers in Biology, and an introductory course called Daredevils, Drugs, and Dopamine: An Introduction to Neuroscience. His scholarly interests include sensory biology—how organisms detect physical and chemical stimuli in their environment. The goal of his current research is to understand the molecular and cellular basis of temperature detection (thermosensation), and how this impacts the physiology and behavior of an organism.

What Professor Daniels enjoys most about teaching at The College of Idaho is the collaborative atmosphere among faculty and students in the classroom and laboratory.
