I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Natural and Life Sciences, The Open University of Israel. I received my PhD under the supervision of Prof
Dan Graur at Tel Aviv University studying molecular evolution. I then joined as an independent fellow to the
National Evolutionary Synthesis Center at Durham, North Carolina, USA. Next, I joined the group of Prof.
Thomas Petes at Duke University as a postdoc.
In my group we study questions in the areas of Genomics, Molecular Evolution and Bioinformatics. More specifically we are interested in
Organelle evolution and
in Signatures of Genome Instability.
