Dr. Daniel Liebl received his PhD from Kent State University in 1994 in Neuroscience in the laboratory of Dr. Peter Koo. He investigated the role of alpha-2-macroglobulin in neuronal growth and survival. In 1994, he joined the laboratory of Dr. Luis Parada and examined the role of neurotrophins and their receptors in developing peripheral and central nervous systems at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
During his post-doctoral training, Dr. Liebl became a member of the Christopher and Dana Reeves Paralysis Consortium and was promoted to a faculty instructor in 1997. This led to Dr. Liebl’s interest in CNS trauma, and he joined The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine (UMMSM) in 2000 as an Assistant Professor. Dr. Liebl was promoted to Associate Professor with Tenure in 2007 and to a full Professor in 2012 at UMMSM. Dr. Liebl served as Director of the Neuroscience Program from 2008 to 2013 and Associate Director of the MD/PhD Medical Student Training Program (MSTP) in 2020. In 2022, he became the co-Director of the MSTP.
