2021 ANNUAL REPORT | Bar-Ilan Institute of Nanotechnology & Advanced Materials

111 Prof. Yaari Gur Faculty of Engineering Member of BINA Nano-Medicine & Nano-Materials Research Areas • Computational • immunology Systems biology • Machine Learning Abstract Computational Systems Immunology We are a data science-driven lab, combining experimental and computational expertise, aiming to address fundamental questions in biology in general and the adaptive immune system in particular. The research activities of our group are divided into two: (1) developing statistical and machine learning-based tools to analyze high-throughput biological data, (2) mining big immunological datasets to extract new insights.
