Aviv Regev is a computational biologist at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Professor at the Department of Biology at Massachusetts Institute of Technology[3] and Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.[4]
Education
Regev studied at the Adi Lautman Interdisciplinary Programme for Outstanding Students of Tel Aviv University, where she completed her Ph.D. under the supervision of Eva Jablonka[5] and Ehud Shapiro.[6]
Research
Regev's highly cited[7][8] research includes work on gene expression[9][10] (with Eran Segal and David Botstein), and the use of π-calculus to represent biochemical processes.[11][12]
Awards and honors
Regev was awarded the Overton Prize in 2008 for "outstanding accomplishment to a scientist in the early to mid stage of his or her career".[1] She was awarded the ISCB Innovator Award in 2017.[2][13] In 2008, she was also awarded the NIH Director's Pioneer Award[14]. She has also been awarded the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award.[15] In 2017, she was awarded a Paul Marks Prize for Cancer Research.[16]
She was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2019.[17]
