Donald D Anderson, Ph.D

I originally went to school to become a medical doctor. While at Cornell University for my Bachelors Degree, I did research in a lab that focused on folate research and birth defects. I became obsessed with science and decided to shift my focus on asking the questions that I thought were important. I received my PhD from Cornell University and then started a postdoctoral position at UT Southwestern. This project is especially important to me because it could help so many people. Not only those who are born with NPC disease, but those who have become infected with Ebola or HIV. The implications of understanding what proteins interact with NPC1 are incredibly important.
