Professor and Chair of the Department of Molecular Genetics, Department of Molecular Genetics, Weizmann Institute of Science
Naama is a professor at the Weizmann Institute of Science where she is using theoretical and computational tools to investigate system-level properties of biological networks. Research projects in our lab quantify biological variability and identify its genetic origins, examine how variability is buffered by molecular circuits and investigate whether variability can in fact be employed to improve cellular computation. She is a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), the ERC Starting Grant evaluation panel, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and Academia Europaea. She has published extensively and given over 100 seminars and invited talks. Internationally she has been recognized with the first ever FEBS/EMBO Women in Science Awards, as well as the Teva Prize for research in system biology, the Michael Bruno Memorial Award (Yan Hanadiv Foundation), the Levinson Award (Weizmann Institute of Science) an EMBO Young Investigator, the Sir Charles Clore prize among others.
