Overview

Daniel Osorio is affiliated with the University of Sussex in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily spans the fields of neuroscience and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Within these domains, their work covers significant subfields such as molecular biology, cognitive neuroscience, ecology, evolution, behavior and systematics, cellular and molecular neuroscience, and sensory systems.

The scientist's research topics include retinal development and disorders, visual perception and processing mechanisms, animal behavior and reproduction, olfactory and sensory function studies, neurobiology and insect physiology research, cephalopods and marine biology, and photoreceptor and optogenetics research.

Daniel Osorio's recent publications reflect a broad engagement with vision science and animal behavior. Notable papers include:

  • The retinal basis of vision in chicken (2020), published in Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology
  • Does conspicuousness scale linearly with colour distance? A test using reef fish (2020), published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences
  • Birds multiplex spectral and temporal visual information via retinal On- and Off-channels (2023), published in Nature Communications
  • Multi-level control of adaptive camouflage by European cuttlefish (2022), published in Current Biology
  • Targeting IRE1α reprograms the tumor microenvironment and enhances anti-tumor immunity in prostate cancer (2024), published in Nature Communications

Their work has been disseminated through frequent publication in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Current Biology, Journal of Experimental Biology, Nature Communications, and Preprints.org.

Daniel Osorio has collaborated extensively with several co-authors, including Tom Baden, N. Justin Marshall, Fabio Cortesi, Marvin Seifert, and Karen L. Cheney. These collaborative efforts contribute to diverse research outputs across related scientific fields.

Additionally, the scientist has published book work, including a contribution to a volume titled A Monetary and Fiscal History of Latin America, 1960-2017, published by the University of Minnesota Press in 2020.
