David Buchner PhD

David Buchner received his PhD in Human Genetics from the University of Michigan in Dr. Miriam Meisler's lab, where he identified and characterized a modifier gene for neurological disease. He did postdoctoral fellowships in the labs of Dr. David Ginsburg (HHMI, University of Michigan) and Dr. Joe Nadeau (Case Western Reserve University), where he used animal models to identify novel disease genes for bleeding disorders and metabolic disease. He continued studying the pathophysiology of obesity and diabetes while working as an Assistant Research Scientist in Dr. Alan Saltiel's lab in the Life Sciences Institute at the University of Michigan. David joined the faculty at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in 2013 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Genetics and Genome Sciences with a secondary appointment in the Department of Biochemistry and the Research Institute for Children's Health.
