    Bio:
    Throughout my scientific training, I have been fascinated by how inter-cellular interactions regulate cell fate decisions. During my graduate work with Prof. Nir Friedman at the Weizmann I studied the effect of intercellular interactions on T cell memory differentiation. I then joined the lab of Prof Long Cai at Caltech, a world leader in developing in-situ spatial biology technologies. At the Cai lab I am applying spatial transcriptomics to study cellular interactions and their consequences on various pathologies such as acute kidney injury and in human glioma.
