Biography	I was born in Tel Aviv, raised in Miami, and I studied in New York, where I received my BA in Math and Biology from New York University in January 2005. At NYU, I worked with Tamar Schlick researching mainly RNA structure and bioinformatics. But I also worked for a year in a wet lab researching ion channel regulation with Todd Holmes. I am currently in George Church's lab at Harvard Medical School working on synthetic biology technology and its applications to medicine.
