Dan Tyrrell earned his bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology at the University of Michigan and received his Ph.D. in Integrated Physiology and Pharmacology from Wake Forest School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, before completing postdoctoral training as a research fellow in the University of Michigan’s Department of Cardiology. Dan was recruited to the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Division of Molecular and Cellular Pathology and started his research lab there in August 2022. The Tyrrell lab uses molecular biology, immunology, and genetic approaches including single-cell RNA sequencing, flow cytometry, and imaging to understand how neurodegeneration and cardiovascular diseases occur during aging.
In the summer of 2020, during his post-doctoral fellowship, Dan coordinated with a group through Twitter and helped to co-found the organization called BlackInCardio. Through BlackInCardio, Dan has helped organize annual week-long virtual events and partnered with organizations including the American Heart Association, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and British Heart Foundation. BlackInCardio has been featured in Forbes, Nature Medicine, and BMC On Medicine Blog, and Dan, along with the other co-founders of BlackInCardio recently wrote a commentary which was published in Nature Reviews Cardiology to discuss the work and future goals of BlackInCardio. Dan recently helped officially file to transform the BlackInCardio movement into a not-for-profit corporation. Dan is currently helping to plan the 3rd annual BlackInCardio week along with the rest of the organizing team.
