Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAviezer Lifshitz is a programmer at the Weizmann Institute of Science with a decade of experience building tools for analysis and modeling of DNA methylation, tumor heterogeneity and EHR data. He holds an MSc in bioinformatics and combines strong algorithmic foundations—SVMs, EM, probabilistic graphical models and online learning—with practical expertise in data retrieval, cleaning and statistical modeling. A polyglot developer fluent in C++, R, Python, Perl and Matlab (with some Java/Android), he bridges research and production to turn complex biological questions into reproducible software. His background advising tumor heterogeneity inference from methylation patterns gives him uncommon domain insight into cancer epigenomics alongside robust engineering skills.
