Bio
Dr. Daniel Bowling is Director of the Music and Brain Health Lab at Stanford School of Medicine. His translational research harnesses the neural effects of music to develop novel, music-based treatments for health and wellness, with a particular focus on anxiety and depression in young adults. His approach integrates interdisciplinary training in neuroscience, psychophysics, evolutionary biology, bioacoustics, psychiatry, and clinical science to establish a foundation for music in human biology that can serve as a rational basis for medical translation.
Dr. Bowling earned his PhD in Neurobiology from Duke University and holds graduate certificates in Cognitive Neuroscience and Translational Medicine. He has authored over 40 peer-reviewed publications in leading journals including Science, PNAS, Molecular Psychiatry, Translational Psychiatry, PLOS Biology, and Trends in Cognitive Sciences. His work has been supported by the National Institutes of Health, the NeuroArts Blueprint, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute, and the Austrian Science Fund.
