Danny Marko completed his undergraduate degree in Medical Sciences at Brock University. Following the competition of that degree he pursued a Master of Science degree at Brock University under the supervision of Dr. Rebecca MacPherson. His Masters project investigated several exercise-induced factors and how these factors effect amyloid beta peptide production in the brain. Throughout his Masters Danny has been funded by OGS and NSERC scholarships.

Danny then completed his PhD and is currently a Post-Doctoral fellow in Dr. Jonathan Schertzer’s lab. His PhD project investigated the impact of intermittent fasting on host metabolism and muscle vs. fat balance. Danny has received the McMaster MODR and Farncombe postdoctoral awards to continue his work investigating how features of obesity alter weight loss during intermittent fasting.

Outside of the lab, Danny is an avid hiker and enjoys playing many sports, such as golf, hockey, basketball, soccer, baseball, and squash.
