Prof. Noam Shomron
Professor Noam Shomron is passionate about using basic science to advance better healthcare. Prof Shomron heads the Functional Genomic Team at the Faculty of Medicine at Tel Aviv University, after training at MIT. He leads a multidisciplinary team of scientists that develops computational methods for parsing big-data in the bio-medical field using Artificial Intelligence. Shomron’s aim is to deepen our understanding of diseases in order to translate information into clinical reality. Shomron is also the Director of Djerassi Institute of Oncology; Editor of ‘Deep Sequencing Data Analysis’ book (Springer, Edition I and II); Director of ‘Rare-Genomics’ Israel (NPO); Academic Director of ‘ScienceAbroad’ (NPO); and, Co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) of Variantyx which provides clinical interpretation of whole genome sequences.
