Assistant Professor
BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER
Boston, MA, United States
Daniel Hochbaum is an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and a Principal Investigator at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. A physicist-turned-neurobiologist, he earned his PhD at Harvard, pioneering tools to map bioelectric phenomena from bacteria to brains, and then led their translation as Chief Scientific Officer of Q-State (now Quiver) Biosciences. As a Junior Fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows, he integrated molecular, circuit, and quantitative behavioral approaches to show how sensory experience and hormonal state reshape neural circuitry. His lab now investigates how circulating signals like hormones coordinate brain and body, why this coupling frays with aging and disease, and how restoring it can improve function. His honors include election to the Harvard Society of Fellows, a Career Award at the Scientific Interface (Burroughs Wellcome), and the MIND Prize (Pershing Square).
