Started my new position as a senior lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the Alexander Silberman Institute of Life Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine at Hebrew University.
We develop computational frameworks to study fundamental principles of tissues in both health and disease contexts.

Highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the biology of diseases. A systematic explanation of what, how, and why, can go wrong resulting in a particular spectrum of human disorders. The book is a foundation for a new branch of biomedical science.

“Social media gives legions of idiots the right to speak when they once only spoke at a bar after a glass of wine, without harming the community ... but now they have the same right to speak as a Nobel Prize winner. It's the invasion of the idiots.”

Very excited to share our work on tissue division of labor that is guided by cell interactions and spatial cues, a joint effort with Noa Moriel, Aleks Goeva, Mor Nitzan, and others (see below) along with my inspiring mentors Ruslan Medzhitov and #AvivRegev . cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Our daughter has been diagnosed with this rare brain cancer, DIPG. Due to its rarity, available data and treatment options are limited! Please retweet and If you are aware of any trials, please get in touch! Thank you!

Super cool preprint from Esther B. Florsheim+Ruslan Medzhitov! Mice are averse to eating allergens they are sensitized to, and there’s a neuro-immune explanation! Clinicians tell me all the time that kids significantly dislike the taste of their food allergen. (1/6) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled to share our preprint on a circuit to target approach to reduce cardiac fibrosis bioRxiv, a joint effort with the ingenious Shoval Miyara from the inspiring labs of Eldad Tzahor and uri alon, and my amazing mentor Ruslan Medzhitov.

Unfortunately we’ve been seating on the @United plane at @EWR tarmac for more than 3 hours now and they just told us we are returning to the gate bc of technical problem. So we’re going to miss our connecting flight from Madrid to Alicante. Nightmare of a trip.

Democracia.

Boa sorte amanhã, meus amigos brasileiros!

Does anyone here k owns what might cause C9 (complement) deposition specifically on brain endothelium? Context - lupus, PMN infiltration in the brain, C9+ vessels aren’t damaged somehow. infection status unknown rn

Jaechul Lim, Erica V. Lin, Jun Young Hong, Ruslan Medzhitov et al. Yale Department of Immunobiology reveal that #glucocorticoids promote the production of #IgE by rare B cells in the mesenteric lymph nodes in the absence of experimentally administered antigens. bit.ly/3BbJDIq #allergies

Very excited to share our latest research on immunological features of #LongCovid . Our 2+ year collaboration with Putrino Lab with many other fantastic colleagues and patients - Mount Sinai Yale Long COVID (MY-LC) study by @sneakyvirus1 et al. 🧵(1/)

Happy to see another story from my postdoc published online today! We described 2 modes of cell number control, growth factors (GF) & space. In #fibroblasts these modes are linked: space sensing controls GF production for #macrophages 👇 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Our work about how environment sensing in #fibroblast controls #macrophage numbers is officially online PNASNews! another step towards understanding tissue as a system & amazing collaboration w/ Ruth Franklin Miri Adler &others while in Ruslan Medzhitov lab
pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

First postdoc paper with the one and only Ruslan Medzhitov is finally out in PNASNews! pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…
We introduce network hypermotifs - higher-order circuits of network motifs (@UriAlonWeizmann), detect them in real networks and describe their emergent dynamic properties.

Oh for fucks sake🙄
