معرفی
Naama Aviram is an Assistant Professor in the Molecular Biology Program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Her research focuses on bacterial defense mechanisms, particularly the CRISPR-Cas system, exploring how bacteria acquire and regulate immunological spacers against pathogens. She received her PhD from the Weizmann Institute of Science (2017) and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at The Rockefeller University (2024). Her work utilizes genetics, genomics, and live imaging to study type III CRISPR-Cas systems' roles in bacterial immunity and evolution.
Key achievements include the Tri-Institutional Breakout Prize (2024) and a K99/R00 NIH Award (2023-2028). Her lab, the Naama Aviram Lab, investigates CRISPR-Cas molecular dynamics and their impact on bacterial physiology. Current lab members include research technicians and scholars. Open postdoctoral positions are listed on MSK’s Career Center.
