Iftach Nachman Relaxing in the sun


I am a postdoc at the FAS center for systems biology (Harvard) and the Broad Institute.

My research interests include: Timing and phenotypic variability in developmental processes in cell populations, evolution and structure of signaling networks, modeling gene regulatory networks, analysis methods for gene expression, learning and representation in probabilistic graphical models.
