I am a third year Ph.D. student in the Biomedical Informatics department at Stanford University. Previously, I completed a Masters degree in Bioinformatics at the Weizmann Institute of Science, in Rehovot, Israel. Before then, I carried out my undergraduate degree in Computational Biology at Bar-Ilan University, in Ramat-Gan, Israel.
As a Masters student I worked in Tzachi Pilpel's laboratory, on transcriptional regulatory networks in yeast.
My current research advisor is Russ B. Altman. He is the PI of PharmGKB, which is a knowledge base of pharmacogenomic data. Pharmacogenomics is the study of how variation in human genetics leads to variation in response to drugs.
