1999-2002 BA in Biochemistry, Technion, Israel Institute of Science and Technology, Faculty of Chemistry, cum laude.
Qualifications
In my research I employ different protein biochemistry, enzymology and crystallography methods, thus I gained a lot of experience in the following techniques:
Crystallography
- Protein crystallization utilizing microbatch crystallization, IMPAX I-5, Oryx and Mosquito crystallization robots.
- Ab initio crystallization and crystals optimization. Various crystallization techniques, such as: soaking, co-crystallization, crystallization in presence of heavy metals for phasing, etc.
- Crystal handling and manipulations, micro-manipulations with ZEISS microscope/manipulator system.
- Data acquisition using Rigaku Raxis 4/4++ or synchrotron x-ray sources.
- X-ray data processing software: XDS, HKL2000.
- Protein structure determination using MR, SIR, MIR, MAD, SIRAS approaches with CNS, SHELX and CCP4 software suits.
- Molecular modeling, visualization and analysis software: PyMol, Coot, XtalView, O, CCP4, APBS.
- Docking and small molecule/drug database mining with AutoDock - drug docking and virtual screening, Cambridge Structure Database (CSB), ZINC, ChemOffice.
Molecular biology and biochemistry
- Protein cloning and expression in E.Coli.
- Biochemical and protein purification techniques: HPLC, FPLC, Ni-columns, Ion exchange columns, acryl-amide gels, size exclusion, affinity chromatography, gradient and analytical ultracentrifugation, ultra-filtration, Mini Prep cell, etc.
- Drug-Protein interaction analysis employing various structural, biochemical and biophysical assays such as: enzymatic assays, ELIZA, circular dichroism, dynamic light scattering, mass-spec, BiaCore, analytical ultracentrifugation, etc.
Programming languages
-Unix, C, Perl, Matlab, Java (basic programming).
