Summary
Michal Linial is a Professor of Biochemistry and Bioinformatics of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJI). She served as the Director of the Israeli Institute for Advanced Studies (IIAS) in Jerusalem (2012-2018). She served as the Director of the Sudarsky Center for Computational Biology at the Hebrew University.
Prof. Linial obtained her Ph.D. in Molecular biology from HUJI. She then completed her post-doctoral training at Stanford (CA, USA) on the field of cellular neurochemistry. On 1989 she joined the faculty of HUJI. She is a founder/Chair of the educational program for Computational Biology in HUJI (from 1999). She is the Israeli representative of pan-European ELIXIR. ML serves in the Board of Directors and as a Vice-President of the International Society of Computational Biology (ISCB). From 2005 she serves at the steering committees of ISMB, RECOM, and ECCB. ML was a visiting professor at the University of Washington in Seattle and MCR in Cambridge, MA-USA. ML has authored over 150 peer-reviewed papers and contributed to the development of bioinformatics databases and websites that are open to the communities of the biomedical and Life science researchers. Her current research interests are on protein family evolution, microRNA mode of action, phenotype to genotype, the molecular basis of aging and metabolic diseases. She applies NGS, proteomics (MS) for revealing the regulation levels in health and disease, focusing on medical healthcare and chronic diseases.
