Gili Greenbaum

Dr. Gili Greenbaum is an Assistant Professor at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior. His research focuses on computational population genomics, addressing eco-evolutionary processes through genomic data analysis and mathematical modeling. Key areas include conservation genomics, gene drive technology, and human evolution under disease pressures. He leads a lab with interdisciplinary collaborations, advising students across biology, mathematics, and computer science disciplines.

Research emphasizes genomic approaches for endangered species conservation, particularly fragmentation impacts on population genetics. Projects also explore gene drive deployment risks and ecological modeling of ancient human interactions with Neanderthals. His lab develops tools like DORA for ancient DNA visualization and modelRxiv for model sharing.

Current projects include predicting conservation risks using machine learning, studying immune-related genomic signatures in human populations, and modeling social evolution dynamics. The lab collaborates with institutions globally and offers training opportunities for graduate students and postdocs in computational biology and theoretical ecology.
