I am the deputy head of the software engineering department at the School of Software and Electrical Engineering at The Azrieli College of Engineering. My research lab studies computational biology. Our research covers a wide range of topics, including biofilm research and personalized medicine in cancer research. Our goal is to develop user-friendly open-source tools that will be accessible to other bioinformaticians and biology researchers.
