Research Interests
I am a computational biologist, with strong background in machine learning, genomics, epigenetics, statistics, and gene regulation.
My group focuses on DNA methylation data to characterize the rich variety of cell types in the human body, study gene regulation, and develops computational tools for deconvolution of complex samples, characterize allele-specific methylation, and study aging.
We are located in Givat-Ram, and are affiliated with the School of Computer Science and Engineering, and with the Faculty of Medicine, at the Hebrew University.
