Our research

Comparative Transcriptomics of the Immune System

Our group studies the immune system using computational methods. We want to understand what changes in immune cells during differentiation and activation, and how immune cells interact with each other and with the environment.

Current research projects:

(1)  Splicing changes in the immune system.

(2)  Evolutionary conservation and divergence of the immune system transcriptome.

(3) The immune component of long COVID.

 

Our lab is a member of the Immunological Genome consortium (ImmGen) and the NeuroCOV consortia.

Join us

We are looking for excellent M.Sc. and Ph.D. students to take part in a study of the immune system using bioinformatics tools. The lab focuses on identifying the transcriptional changes of the immune system and their regulation during interactions with pathogens, microbiome, cancer and auto-immune diseases. The lab is a multidisciplinary environment; we need both people with strong computational skills and analytic abilities and people with profound immunological understanding. The successful candidate should be curious, hardworking, fast learner, and have one of the following: 1) A B.Sc. or M.Sc. in computer science, engineering or related disciplines, and a deep interest in biological processes. 2) A B.Sc. or M.Sc. in biology and the will to learn and conduct computational research. Project students The laboratory is also looking for enthusiastic and talented students to take part in the study of the immune system using bioinformatics tools. Projects require programming. To hear more, please write to Tal Shay, talshay@bgu.ac.il. Informal inquiries are welcome.
