He received his PhD from the Weizmann Institute of Science and completed the Post-doctoral training at the Institute for Systems Biology in the laboratory of Dr. Alan Aderem. His primary research goals are directed toward understanding the transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms that regulate the development and function of macrophages in health and disease. The Litvak Lab employs a systems biology approach to define molecular pathways that govern the functional role of macrophages in virus-host interactions and in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disorders.
