I work on biomedical foundation models, especially scRNA and DNA.
My PhD is in statistical physics of complex networks (Prof. Shlomo Havlin, Bar-Ilan University), and my post-doctoral research was at the Northeastern University Network Science institute (Prof. Albert-László Barabási).
At IBM I work in AI for Healthcare and Life Science, leading challenges automating experiments for causal inference from patient records, building foundation models for scRNA, DNA and proteins.
