Oct 27, 2023 | New paper in PNAS: Our new paper in the domain of computational structural biology was recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. We performed distributional analysis of protein backbone angles using a novel a cross-peptide-bond Ramachandran plot that captures the conformational preferences of the amino acid pairs, and demonstrate that it conveys biologically meaningful information, not apparent in the traditional Ramachandran plot. |
Jul 01, 2023 | New workshop papers in ICML: Two of our new papers have been accepted to the ICML 2023 workshop Frontiers4LCD. In the first paper we propose a novel approach for estimating high-dimensional conditional quantile functions on manifolds. In the second paper we propose a novel continuous formulation of vector quantile regression that allows for accurate, scalable, differentiable, and invertible estimation of nonlinear conditional vector quantile functions. |
May 22, 2023 | PhD defense completed: I have successfully defended by PhD thesis, as part of my doctoral degree requirements. I would like to sincerely thank the committee members, Prof. Ron Kimmel (Technion), Prof. Joel L. Sussman (Weizmann) and Prof. Mickey Scheinowitz (TAU) for the interesting and engaging discussion. |
Feb 01, 2023 | New paper in ICLR: Our paper, “Fast Nonlinear Vector Quantile Regression” has been published in the International Conference for Learning Representations (ICLR 2023). In this work, we extend Vector Quantile Regression to support non-linear specification, while ensuring monotonicity and scaling to millions of samples. |
Dec 20, 2022 | New paper in Scientific Reports: Our recent work, has been published. Building on our previous work, we apply machine learning approaches to demonstrate that protein structures carry information about their genetic coding. |
Jun 06, 2022 | Featured: Our recent work about the association between protein structure and synonymous genetic coding was featured on the Technion website! See english and hebrew. |
May 20, 2022 | New paper in Nature Communications: Our paper, “Codon-specific Ramachandran plots show amino acid backbone conformation depends on identity of the translated codon” has been published in Nature Communications. In this work we applied powerful statistical methods to uncover novel associations between synonymous genetic coding and protein structure. |
Dec 08, 2021 | Scholarship: I have been awarded with the Gutwirth Excellence Scholarship based on my PhD research. This scholarship is intended for PhD students at Technion, based on academic excellence and research achievements, where priority is given to students whose academic achievements indicate a high potential for further career as independent researchers. |
