I earned my PhD degree in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry from the prestigious Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. My Ph.D. and postdoctoral experience allowed me to gain better understanding of cellular processes. As a Manager and later Director of the Gene Expression and Microarray Core (2004 - 2010), I gained extensive hands-on experience of sample processing for microarray, Nanostring and NextGen sequencing analyses. As part of the Bioinformatics group (2010-2012) I used and evaluated many different bioinformatics software tools. I also gained experience in analyzing large genomics datasets as well as conducting systems biology analyses. Thus, I have combined expertise in bioinformatics, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Systems Biology. Much of my academic work in recent years involved analyses of gene expression data from Nanostring, microarrays and RNA-seq (see publications).
