About Me

Immediately after, she moved to Montana, where she did a 2 year postbac in the Virus Ecology Unit at the Rocky Mountain Labs (NIAID/NIH). Having gained a greater appreciation for the types of qeustions she's interested in pursuing, she is joining the Micribiology MTA. Dania is also highly passionate about fostering diversity and inclusivity in STEM and hopes to continue to work towards this goal at Sinai. For fun outside of lab, Dania can be found knitting or dancing away.

Industry Relationships

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
