Award-Winning Scholars
Our scholars are decorated with many awards. Here is a partial list:
Prof. Gat-Viks is a computational biologist, focusing on the application of computational techniques in the field of personalized medicine. Specifically, natural diversity in a population of individuals is exploited to reveal the underlying biological mechanisms that are either related to disease or associate with drug response. The research relies on clinical and “omics” data collected in a population of individuals, including murine data of influenza and S. Pneumonia infections and human data of specific disease such as atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, sepsis and response to immuno-therapy in solid tumors.
Prof Gat-Viks was graduated from the Adi Lautman’s program for the fostering of excellence at Tel Aviv University and won the Krill prize of the Wolf Foundation (2014).
