Iddo Friedberg’s Experience

Assistant Professor

Miami University

(Educational Institution; Higher Education industry)

2009 — Present (less than a year)

Starting August 2009: Principal investigator, Bioinformatics laboratory, departments of Microbioloogy and Computer Science. My lab is interested in the following:
* Annotation of second and third generation sequencing data.
* Evolution and computational prediction of binding sites in protein structures.
* Function differentiation in enzymes: recognizing new enzymes in old families
* Evolution of metabolic pathways

If you are interested in any of the above, I am recruiting students, graduate students and postdocs. Please email friedberg.lab.jobs "at" gmail "dot" com with a CV, statement of research interest, and contact information for 2-3 references

Iddo Friedberg’s Education

The Hebrew University

Ph.D. , Bioinformatics , 1997 — 2002

I investigated proteins displaying a low pairwise identity, but a high overall
structural similarity. Finding the structural parameters for such a phenomenon, and
investigating its evolutionary implications in various protein families were the two chief
goals of my research. Thesis title: "SequenceStructure Relationship in Proteins: a
Computational Analysis of Proteins that Differ in Sequence but Share the Same Fold".

MSc , Biochemistry , 1995 — 1997

Graduated magna cum Laude. Thesis title: "Immunofluorescent Quantitative Protein Analysis of Cultured Cells: Use of a Digital Microscopy Workstation".
