I was trained as an M.D. at the Hebrew University/Hadassah Medical School in Jerusalem, Israel, and have been involved in computational research and basic science research both in the Hebrew University and at the Fisher laboratory at NYU Langone. My main interests are cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, population genetics, signaling and regulation pathways. My main goal in the lab is to uncover some of the complex genetics of heart disease, the leading cause of death in the county.
