Daniel R. Buchholz is a Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Cincinnati in Ohio, USA since 2006. He received his BA in Biology from Reed College in Portland, Oregon in 1992, an MA in Immunology from University of California, Berkeley in 1995, and a PhD in Comparative Endocrinology from UC Berkeley in 1999. His post-doctoral work was at the National Institutes of Health with Dr. Yun-Bo Shi from 2000-2006.
At the University of Cincinnati, Buchholz teaches Developmental Biology, Vertebrate Endocrinology, Molecular Development Lab, and Histology Lab. He serves and has served on numerous departmental and university committees and is currently the Undergraduate Research Director for Biological Sciences. Buchholz has graduated 6 Masters students and 5 PhD students, all of whom have gone to post-doc positions in Yale, Harvard, or the biotech industry.
Buchholz is a leader in the field of frog developmental endocrinology. He has examined molecular, cellular, and endocrine mechanisms controlling the larval to juvenile transition in model and non-model frog species. Buchholz has published 65 articles and 15 reviews / book chapters with 3252 citations and an h-index of 36. Through a large series of papers, Buchholz characterized the endocrinology and evolution of metamorphosis in a group of desert amphibians and detailed how phenotypic plasticity within species may evolve into trait variation among species. Buchholz is expert in frog transgenesis and pioneered the application of TALEN and CRISPR to frogs, characterizing many transgenic frog lines and publishing one of the first articles involving gene disruption technology to advance knowledge beyond proof-of-principle. Using many gene knockouts, Buchholz has made unanticipated discoveries regarding the roles of hormone receptors, peptide hormones, and steroidogenic enzymes in control of metamorphosis. We now have a more comprehensive understanding of the endocrine control of development in frogs which revealed surprising similarities to the mammalian aquatic to terrestrial developmental transition.
Buchholz has been a member of NASCE (North American Society for Comparative Endocrinology) since 2011, was a NASCE council member from 2013-2017, and was elected NASCE Fellow in 2022. He has organized several symposia for NASCE and ISAREN (International Symposium on Amphibian and Reptile Endocrinology and Neurobiology) and was the Young Investigator Lecturer for ISARN in 2007. Buchholz was the co-chair for the 10th ISAREN meeting jointly held with NASCE in 2019, and co-organizer for the virtual NASCE meeting held in 2021.
