PHD Student
Short Bio
Guy was born in Jerusalem and grew up in the Bay area and Tel-Aviv. A lifelong traveler learner and explorer. After completing a triple major bachelor’s degree in Physics, General Humanities (clusters in psychology, philosophy and social justice) and Biology at Tel-Aviv University, He went on to do an interdisciplinary Quantitative/Systems Biology master’s degree at the Weizmann Institute of Science “Hierarchy of non-glucose sugars in Escherichia coli” Under Professor Uri Alon.
Next was trying to open the first biology accelerator/biohackerspace in Israel, to allow impactful Biological research, development and learning to be done not in an academic or corporate setting – Bio-TLV. This led him to his current projecting, Developing a affordable, reliable, easy to use, rapid, and robust kit for detecting Zika, Dengue and Chikungunya arboviruses, both on human samples for diagnosis as well as on mosquitoes for Citizen Science, Education and Surveillance purposes.
