PhD astrophysicist and the longest continually serving associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate in NASA’s history
From 2016 to 2022, Zurbuchen became NASA’s longest continually serving science chief in its history. In this role, Zurbuchen was tasked with helping answer some of humanity’s biggest questions: Where did we come from? Are we alone? How does the universe work? Based on his decades as a researcher, innovator, and explorer, he is well versed in the practice of asking difficult questions that help seek interconnected answers leading to real-world impacts. Growing up in Switzerland, Zurbuchen was a keen observer of the natural world from an early age. His curiosity led him to pursue degrees in physics as a first college graduate in his family, and he has served on and led innovative scientific teams that have helped enlarge perspectives on the solar system and the universe. Previous points of focus of his research have been the planet Mercury and the sun. He was also a professor of space science and aerospace engineering at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and was the founding director of UM’s Center for Entrepreneurship at the College of Engineering. There, he developed and ran several campus-wide innovation initiatives, one of which led to the top-ranked undergraduate entrepreneurship program nationally. During his career, Zurbuchen has authored or co-authored more than 200 articles in peer reviewed journals focused mostly on solar and heliospheric phenomena. He earned his doctorate and Master of Science degrees in physics from the University of Bern in Switzerland. Zurbuchen’s honors include induction as a member of the International Academy of Astronautics and the Swiss Academy of Science and Engineering. He is a fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. From NASA, Zurbuchen has been recognized with the 2020 Outstanding Leadership Medal for leadership and critical support in leading the Science Mission Directorate, and advancing scientific knowledge, making a profound impact on NASA’s mission, programs and projects; the 2021 Presidential Rank Award, the highest annual award for U.S. government career senior executive service members for sustained extraordinary accomplishment; and the 2022 Distinguished Service Medal for extraordinary contributions and outstanding leadership to NASA’s mission and the nation’s space program. The NASA science program is responsible for more than 140 missions under development or in operation. Each of these constitutes a partnership of various science and technology disciplines, and with industry and other nations together tasked to advance the frontiers of knowledge and exploration. These missions include the record-setting James Webb Space Telescope, the Perseverance rover on Mars and its flying companion the Ingenuity Helicopter, and dozens of missions observing Earth, and with other government and industry partners, protecting and improving lives on Earth through weather forecasts and supporting disaster relief.

Vice-Président, Head of Europe, Middle East & Africa Moderna
He is currently responsible for bringing mRNA technology to the Middle East and developing Moderna's presence there. His second mission is to develop Moderna's scientific presence and partnerships in Switzerland, home of the international HUB. At the time of his recruitment in July 2020, Dan was the first commercial employee (outside the US) of Moderna, a company that has grown from a research-stage company in the messenger RNA (mRNA) field to a company with a diversified clinical portfolio of vaccines and therapeutics in seven modalities. Since then and until the end of 2022, as head of the EMEA region, he has been busy building a growing team as well as numerous affiliates across Europe with broad responsibilities covering all stages of commercialisation and specialising in bringing mRNA vaccines to market. Dan Staner has nearly 30 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry. After graduating from HEC Lausanne, he joined Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly, where he held various strategic and operational roles in Switzerland, Europe, the US and emerging markets. Married with two children, he combines his busy professional life with his family life and a passion for alpine sports. At the age of 27 he was caught in an avalanche which left him immobilised for several months. Although he still has scars, he has shown resilience in the face of adversity. Switzerland is a key country at the heart of Moderna's strategy and at the heart of Dan's DNA. Switzerland is a land of talented investors and humanity. The art of relationship building is undoubtedly one of Dan's strengths, as is his participative and communicative management style that unites not only his teams but also all his stakeholders. Finally, Dan Staner embodies an agile and optimistic mindset. In a life of constant change, at the heart of which the human being is central, his passion drives his personal and professional activities. As a team leader with a strong results-oriented culture, he demonstrates the rare quality of being able to question himself, aware that nothing can be taken for granted.
