Naama Barkai

Naama Barkai is an Israeli systems biologist and professor for Molecular Genetics and Physics of Complex Systems at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, and a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO).

Education and career

In 1995, Barkai earned a PhD Summa Cum Laude in theoretical physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, on the statistical mechanisms of learning.[1][2] Barkai pursued a post-doc in the group of Stanislas Leibler at Princeton University, where she worked on theoretical analysis of biochemical networks.[1] During this time, she was supported by the Robert H. Dicke Fellowship.[1][2] From 2001–2004, Barkai was an EMBO young investigator.[1] Her work on deciphering mechanisms of control in complex biological systems combining experimental work with mathematical modelling shaped the field of systems biology.[1] From 2005-2006 she was a visiting professor at Harvard University.[1] In 2007, she was elected as EMBO member.[1]

She is on the scientific advisory board of Evogene Ltd.[2]
