Research Summary

My main research interest focuses on molecular immunology, with a special interest HLA-peptidomics; the research field aimed at characterization of the full repertoires of HLA peptides presented by human cells (HLA peptidome) and the implementation of the HLA peptidomics into development of personalized immunotherapy of cancer, autoimmunity, and inflammatory diseases.

These research directions rely heavily on the use of the modern tools of peptidomics and proteomics, especially mass spectrometry and bioinformatics. My basic research interests focus on the issue of the molecular and cellular mechanism of the antigen processing and presentation. I am also the academic head the Technion’s Smoler Proteomics Center.
