Prof. Keren Itzchak

I completed my undergraduate studies in the Computational Biology and Computer Science program at the Hebrew university. I then moved to Tel-Aviv University to do my Masters and PhD in Computer Science under the supervision of Prof. Eytan Ruppin, where I focused on developing computational methods for studying human metabolism, specifically in aging and cancer. In 2015 I started my post-doc at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard working with Prof. Gad Getz. During this time I developed methods for studying tumor immunity at the single-cell level, as well as methods for studying somatic clonality in normal tissues. A year ago, I opened my Computational Cancer Genomics lab at the Faculty of Medicine, where we continue to develop and apply computational tools for studying cancer genomics and immunity.
