Danielle Yi
Danielle joined Juvena Therapeutics as a Scientist I on the Pharmacology Team, contributing to preclinical in vivo research. She holds a B.A. in Integrative Biology and a Ph.D. in Endocrinology from UC Berkeley, where she focused on thermogenesis, energy metabolism, and obesity. Her research specifically explored key factors, such as transcription factors, histone modifiers, and signaling molecules, that activate thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue.
Danielle further developed her expertise in molecular cell biology during her postdoctoral work and has accumulated over eight years of experience designing and executing molecular and cellular bioassays, as well as a wide range of in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo assays. She has authored four first-author publications and contributed to co-authored papers in high-impact journals, including EMBO, Molecular Cell, Cell Reports, and eLife, among others, in the fields of obesity and metabolism.
