Congratulations to Daniel on his PhD

Our lab is beaming with pride as Dan completes his PhD on the effects of thermogenic stimuli on the immune system! )

Here's to many more successes! You're hot on the trail of more discoveries, thanks to your cool research!

In his PhD thesis, Daniel described the effect of cold adaptation and capsaicin, the hot compound of chilli peppers, on one's immune system.

You can read his recent work in these articles published last year:
