About

Curiosity that started with friends, became a career

Watching friends battle cancer sparked a lifelong curiosity about why diseases occur and how we can treat them. That pulled me into oncology, genomics, and bioinformatics, and into the Ron-Harel Lab at the Technion, where I work to uncover how immune and metabolic pathways shape health and disease

Before the PhD I earned my B.S. and M.S. in Biomolecular Engineering & Bioinformatics at UC Santa Cruz, where I built computational pipelines on spatial transcriptomics, single-cell, and CRISPR/Cas9 data. I keep ending up at the seam between biology and code

Outside the lab, I race endurance events and have played soccer my whole life. Both keep me sharp, both keep me sane
