Newest preprint from our lab. We show that we can detect abnormal expression in hepatocytes from blood samples. #cfChIPseq #liquidbiopsy #cfDNA

אחד העצורים במחאה נגד המהפכה המשפטית בירושלים הוא פרופ' עמית דניאלי, חבר סגל באוניברסיטה העברית ופרופ' למדעי המחשב. במשטרה טוענים שנעצר על תקיפת שוטרים. זה התיעוד: לקול קריאות "איפה הייתם בחווארה?" שוטרי יס"מ מתנפלים על פרופ' דניאלי ומכניסים אותו לניידת תוך שניות בודדות מ"התקיפה"

What’s happening in Israel? Please read and share this thread that I wrote to help clarify the dramatic (and complicated) events that threaten to turn Israel into a dictatorship in a matter of weeks 👇

@YehuMoran @HebrewU Congratulations! Well deserved

I was just notified this afternoon by the Rector of @HebrewU that I was promoted to a Full Professor. I am indebted to past and current lab members, colleagues, collaborators and the system around me who enabled this. Thanks also to the anonymous internal and external referees 🙏

cfChIP-seq now added to the list of methods for #LiquidBiopsy #CancerScreening.

New pre-print. Wonderful collaboration with Anish Thomas and his group at the NCI. We show that liquid biopsy can identify small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Moreover, we can identify its sub-type which today requires solid biopsy. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Proud to see this paper appear online. Massive effort by Alon Chappleboim and Daphna Joseph-Strauss and beautiful story that opens up some intriguing hypotheses. Transcription feedback dynamics in the wake of cytoplasmic mRNA degradation shutdown academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

What an honor! @haitham_amal and I received the Krill award from the #wolf foundation 💪🙏🍾

HUMAN GENOME! IT COMPLETE AGAIN AGAIN! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@wolfgangkhuber My 5cents - you need a model of baseline variation within a “homogeneous” population (eg healthy control samples in a medical settings). Once you do that, you can test whether the two groups are best modeled as one population or two distinct ones.

@KaminskiMed Although the one time I suggested to speakers to do this it was not well received 😬

@KaminskiMed I once was assigned to do this at a workshop. The original speaker had to cancel in the last minute but told the organizers that he believes I understand the paper… it was an interesting experience. Highly recommended.

I love it!!!

Congratulations to Yaara Oren, an exceptional postdoctoral fellow, for orchestrating this study on mechanisms underlying cycling cancer therapy persisters in @Nature Great collaboration between the Regev and Brugge labs. #avivregev #cancertherapy nature.com/articles/s4158…

With great sorrow, we sadly announce the death of our friend and colleague Prof. Naftali Tishby from the School of Computer Science and Engineering and extend our condolences to the family.

דיון וועדת המומחים של משרד הבריאות היום נראה כמו משחק מכור. שמעתי את נחמן אש אתמול בגל"צ, וכל חבר/ת וועדה ששמע אותו הבין/ה בדיוק מה ההחלטה שהוא רוצה - לחסן. שלישי. עכשיו. לפני אישור ה-FDA. לפני שיש מסד נתונים מספק. אני לא מומחה רפואי. אבל כמי שלקח חלק בהרבה מאוד תהליכי קבלת

As of this week, the dam is beginning to break publicly so I will comment. Google just announced a vaccination requirement, the VA has, CA has, NY has and others are on the path. Including Biden publicly commenting that this is being considered 4 all federal ees & contractors.2/

A great opportunity for postdoctoral fellows (And I am happy to sponsor suitable applicants) azrielifoundation.org/the-azrieli-fo…

Our new paper, led by Gilad Yaakov and @FJonas15 just came out! @NatureBiotech ⏱We used molecular timers to measure histone exchange genome-wide. 1/5 nature.com/articles/s4158…
