Congratulations to Assaf, who was awarded an excellence prize from the school of CS!

Read Nimrod’s paper (link) in Nature Medicine on a reference model for hematopoietic stem cells across lifespan. The work, jointly led by Liran Shlush and Amos Tanay, may facilitate clinical applications of single-cell genomics in hematology.

Congrats to Thomy and Tal who both won the first poster prizes in the two sessions of the Safra retreat. See here (link) for details.
