Dan Doherty

Board Member

Dan is a pediatrician who works with children who have serious neurological complications where there is no easy diagnosis or cure. Dan's careful attention to detail and PhD in biology make him one of the very few people in the world who can go beyond asking why bad things happen and actually figure out why those things happen and what can be done about them.
Both Dan and his patients will benefit from UnaMesa's work on better ways to exchange information, expand our shared knowledge, and learn more quickly how to create a better quality of life for everyone. With Dan's help as a board member, we will get there more quickly.
