Personal profile
About Me
I am an organic medicinal chemist with a focus on rationally designing molecules to precisely modulate protein interactions. At the Bar-Ilan University Azrieli Faculty of Medicine, my lab concentrates on identifying molecular modulators of protein-protein interactions through bioinformatics analysis, peptide and protein chemistry, and comprehensive biological assays. Our goal is to develop compounds that can modulate protein complexes, thereby enhancing our understanding of specific protein function within cells and serving as a foundation for therapeutic compound development.
