About the Author

Dr. “Yoni” Samuel J. S. Rubin completed his PhD in immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine, followed by postdoctoral training, MD, clinical residency, and fellowship at the same institution. His research focuses on better understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying chronic immune-mediated diseases and using this knowledge to develop safer, cheaper, and more effective tools for detecting and treating illness worldwide. In the field of mucosal immunology and immune cell trafficking, Dr. Rubin’s findings have inspired the development of novel blood-based methods for detection of gastroenterological conditions.

Dr. Nir Qvit completed his doctorate in organic chemistry at the Hebrew University in 2008. His graduate work focused on developing strategies for synthesis of small molecules, peptides, and peptidomimetics (modified peptides) for various therapeutic applications. Dr. Qvit completed postdoctoral training and worked as a Senior Scientist in Chemical and Systems Biology at Stanford University. In 2017, Dr. Qvit became a Senior Lecturer and Principal Investigator of the multi-national and inter-disciplinary Laboratory for Chemical Biology of Protein-Protein Interactions in the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine at Bar Ilan University.
