Available Positions

We are always open for applications from scientists at all career stages interested to join our team. To apply please contact moshe.biton@weizmann.ac.il with your CV and referees contact information.

The Biton's group is looking for motivated students whom are willing to dive into the mysteries of adult stem cell biology.

Adult stem cells are key player in the regeneration of their corresponding tissue, and in the intestine these cells are located in the bottom of the crypt, proliferate every ~24h and have the ability to differentiate to all epithelial lineages including enterocytes, goblet, Paneth, enteroendocrine, tuft and microfold cells. These cells have multiple tasks in nutrient absorbing, mucus secretion, antimicrobial agents production, hormone secretion and cytokines production. Our group is interested in finding immunological properties of adult stem cells that may be involve in skewing differentiation patterns, altering communication with the microenvironment and dictating tissue response to various tissue stresses.

We are looking for a highly motivated computational biologist that would be part of a team that explores immune-epithelial interactions. The computational part will be to analyze and developing new methods for single-cell analysis in combination with drug discovery and traditional biology.
