Aviv Regev (2017)

Aviv Regev (born July 11, 1971 ) is an Israeli- American bioinformatician . She is a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and also works at the Broad Institute , an institution of MIT and Harvard University , both in Cambridge , Massachusetts . She made significant contributions to the theory of biomolecular networks. With their algorithms, the importance of biomolecules for certain processes (or diseases) can be estimated. Several of her works deal with the differentiation and function of TH17 cells .

Regev studied in the framework of an excellence program at Tel Aviv University , where she obtained her master's degree in 1997 and her doctoral degree in 2003. In her dissertation with Eva Jablonka and Ehud Shapiro , she dealt with a new representation language for biomolecular processes based on a computer process algebra ( pi calculus ). She worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University . Since 2006 she has had her own research group and an assistant professor of biology at MIT and the Broad Institute. Since 2014 she has also been doing research for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute . As of 2017, she was a full professor of biology at MIT.

In 2008 Regev was awarded the Overton Prize of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB). In 2017 she received both the ISCB's ISCB Innovator Award and the Paul Marks Prize for Cancer Research from the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center . For 2020 she was awarded the Lurie Prize in Biomedical Sciences . In 2019 Regev was elected to the National Academy of Sciences .
