Danielle Kimmel, PhD | Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Danielle Kimmel is a Research Assistant Professor in the Chemistry Department at Vanderbilt University. She received her Ph.D. in Chemistry from Vanderbilt University in 2012 (dissertation mentor David Cliffel). Her graduate (2009-2012) and postdoctoral work (2012-2015) focused on in-depth analysis of metabolic flux during oxidative stressor exposure. Using electrochemical biosensors, her work provided further understanding of innate immunological responses in multiple cell types. Contributing her background knowledge regarding electrochemical biosensors and disease onset, Danielle then worked with the VZNIGHT (Vanderbilt-Zambia Network for Innovation in Global Health Technologies) program to further their goal for providing low-income, ultra sensitive malarial diagnostics (2015-2017). Currently, she is excited to join the OBGYN Department at Vanderbilt University Medical Center to work with toxicant exposure and the subsequent associated risks to reproductive health.
