Dr. Eric Shifrut is an Assistant Professor at Tel Aviv University and a Principal Investigator at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center. He completed his graduate studies at the Weizmann Institute of Science, where he mapped the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire in health and disease. For his postdoctoral training, he joined the laboratory of Alex Marson at UCSF, where he pioneered CRISPR discovery platforms to study primary human T cells.
Dr. Shifrut has co-authored 36 papers and 8 patents in the fields of immunology and cell therapy, with over 5,000 citations. His independent research program leverages these advances in CRISPR engineering to design best-in-class T cell therapies against cancer.
