Education edit

Regev studied at the Adi Lautman Interdisciplinary Program for Outstanding Students of Tel Aviv University, where she completed her PhD under the supervision of Eva Jablonka,[7] and Ehud Shapiro.[8]

Career and research edit

In 2020, Regev became the Head and Executive Vice President of Genentech Research and Early Development, based in South San Francisco, and a member of the extended Corporate Executive Committee of Roche.[9][10] Previously, she was a Core Institute Member (now on leave), Chair of the Faculty, Founding Director of the Klarman Cell Observatory and co-Director Cell Circuits Program at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. She was also a professor in the Department of Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (now on leave), as well as an Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Regev's research[11] includes work on gene expression[12][13] (with Eran Segal and David Botstein), and the use of π-calculus to represent biochemical processes.[14][15][16] Regev's team has been a leading pioneer of single-cell genomics experimental and computational methods.[17] In 2014, she pitched the idea of the creation of Human Cell Atlas,[18] a project to describe all cell types in the human body. Regev founded the Human Cell Atlas together with Sarah Teichmann along with collaborators all over the world.[citation needed]

Single Cell Genomics edit

Regev's lab pioneered the development and application of many of the key experimental and computational advances for single cell and spatial genomics, especially single cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-seq).

Awards and honors edit

Regev is a fellow of the International Society of Computational Biology (ISCB) (2017),[19] a Helmholtz Fellow (2020),[20] and a fellow of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) (2021).[21] She is a member of the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS, elected 2019)[22] and of the US National Academy of Medicine (NAM, elected 2020).[23]
