Daniel Castranova
Daniel Castranova discovered microscopy through his passion for marine life and biology. After receiving a master’s degree in animal science, Castranova found himself caring for and managing the husbandry of the zebrafish used in Dr. Brant Weinstein’s lab at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, part of the NIH. Weinstein’s lab is focused on the study of vascular development, or the formation of the elaborate networks of vessels that carry blood (circulatory system) or lymph (lymphatic system) through the body. Through his work, Castranova began assisting with the photography of the lab’s zebrafish and developed an affinity for capturing beautiful images from these tricky-to-photograph live specimens under the microscope.
