Ori Rokach
Ori Rokach is a postdoctoral research scientist in the laboratory of Sagi Shapira. His research focuses on nucleic acid-sensing pathway in lung epithelial cells.
Prior to this, he completed his PhD in Basel University hospital in Switzerland. Where he studied, the molecular dysregulation of excitation contraction coupling in patients with congenital muscle disorders, under the supervision of Susan Treves and Francesco Zorzato.
