First degree in Medicine at the Technion.
MD PhD in Biophysics at the Technion.
Participated in the Technion Excellence Program: 2000- 2001.
Danny used the Program to take many courses which were not a part of the ordinary curriculum of the Medical School – courses in biology, electrical engineering and probability.
He did research during his undergraduate studies in genetics under the guidance of Prof. Adi Salzberg and a PhD under the guidance of Prof. Shimon Marom from the Medicine Faculty on the study of dynamics, synchronization and adaptation in large networks of cortical neurons.

Recommendation to Program participants: “Take as many courses as you can outside the “ordinary” track you are studying”.
Today (2018): Danny is a Staff Physician, Pediatric Critical Care Unit at Rambam Medical Center.
