Liran Sagie
M.Sc. student
-
B.Sc., Industrial Engineering & Management, Technion
Liran is interested in how cells integrate signals from their neighbors to decide when to die. He is taking a data-driven modeling approach to study Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death.
Amos Zamir
M.Sc. student
-
B.Sc., Computer Science, BGU
Amos is investigating intercellular information transfer during collective calcium signaling. He is using time-series analysis and machine learning to infer the different roles that single cells take in cell-cell communication.
Assaf Nahum
M.Sc. student
-
B.Sc., Software and Information Systems Engineering, BGU (direct M.Sc. track)
Assaf is studying the interaction of cells with their microenvironment. He is developing new image analysis algorithms to quantify the spatiotemporal cell-ECM interactions and cell-ECM-cell interactions.
Katya Smoliansky
M.Sc. student
-
B.Sc., Bioinformatics, BGU
Katya is applying machine learning to image cell data to systematically infer protein localization networks.
