Daniel A. Ramirez, MD
Principal Investigator
Daniel A. Ramirez, M.D. started his scientific career as an Electrical Engineer in 1998.
He worked for the U.S. Navy as a computer and underwater range engineer at Roosevelt Roads Naval Base in Puerto Rico.
He then graduated with honors from the University of Puerto Rico school of Medicine in 1973 and trained in internal medicine at Letterman Army Medical Center in San Francisco, California.
He did an allergy / immunology fellowship at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. where he did research on anaphylaxis and reactions to hymenoptera (stings of bees, yellow jackets and hornets.)
He was assigned as Chief of Allergy-Immunology at Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) in 1979.
While at BAMC, he became interested in mountain cedar allergy, since it affects many in South Texas, even people without any other allergy.
Dr. Ramirez is a partner in a large, busy allergy/immunology practice in San Antonio and has been involved in many clinical research projects in allergy, asthma, other respiratory and skin diseases.
...
Dr. Ramirez's interests out of medicine include computer programming, woodworking, digital photography and music.
He is a very proud "Aggie Dad" of two Texas A&M graduates.
His oldest son will start allergy / immunology training in 2008 with plans of joining his "Aggie Dad" in 2010.
His daughter is a law student at Texas Tech in Lubbock.
