Ofer received his PhD from the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at MIT, where he was later appointed as a research scientist studying the interaction of light with matter at the nanoscale. Under Rameen’s mentorship, Ofer studied the mechanisms and selective processes that shape the landscape of somatic genomic rearrangements in cancer. He developed statistical and machine-learning models for large whole-genome sequencing datasets to identify genomic alterations that lead to the development and progression of cancer. Ofer is now the Senior Scientist in Computational Biology at Cedilla Therapeutics.
