BSc in Biology at the Technion.

MSc and PhD in Bioinformatics at the Weizmann Institute of Science.

Postdoctoral fellowship at the lab of Prof. Doron Lancet at the Weizmann Institute of Science.

Participated in the Technion Excellence Program: October 2000 – July 2003.

Noa used the Program to build a multi-disciplinary curriculum that included hardcore advanced biology courses, as well as elaborated math and chemistry courses, and courses from advanced studies and from other faculties, which allowed her to get unique qualifications of both biology and computational skills.

Noa conducted two research projects:
The first was under the guidance of Prof. Benjamin Podbilewicz from the Faculty of Biology: "Bioinformatic Analysis of Eff1 gene from c. elegans".
The second was under the guidance of Prof. Michael Kozlov from Tel-Aviv University and in cooperation with Beni Poidbilewitcz on "Mathematical model of vulval development in c. elegans".
