Daniel Call
Postdoctoral Research Associate

Daniel H. Call is a postdoctoral research associate researching proteomics with the Cell Signaling and Communication Integrated Research Platform. Call is currently researching tuberculosis (TB) and using proteomics to better understand why the disease relapses for some patients after treatment. The ultimate goal of this project is to find protein biomarkers that can predict TB treatment efficacy and improve treatment success. Call is also using proteomics to study HIV rebound in lymph tissue, the effect of ethanol on the brain, chronic pain post-surgery, and type-1 diabetes in children.
