Shai Rosenberg is a physician-scientist at Hadassah Medical Center and a professor at the Faculty of Medicine at the Hebrew University. A graduate of the Technion Excellence Program, where he studied medicine alongside an intensive curriculum in mathematics and sciences, he completed both his MD (Cum Laude) and PhD in statistical genetics, receiving the Wolf Foundation Prize for PhD students. He completed his neurology residency at Hadassah with honors and pursued postdoctoral research in computational biology at the Brain and Spine Institute (ICM) in Paris as part of a selective international program. Today, Shai leads a research laboratory focused on applying artificial intelligence to cancer genomics and precision oncology. As Head of AI in Oncology at Hadassah, he bridges clinical care with algorithmic innovation, supported by research grants from the Israel Science Foundation (including the Mavri Grant) and the EU. He also directs the Sagol Program for outstanding students pursuing a combined MD and BSc in computer science - currently comprising 80 active and former trainees. He is co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of GenoCure.AI, a translational startup leveraging academic research to advance AI-driven tools for personalized cancer treatment.
About the Program: "My studies in the framework of the Program provided me with the opportunity to acquire a broad scientific basis in a variety of subjects. This knowledge, and especially the mathematical tools I acquired during my undergraduate studies, is of great value for my research".
Recommendations: "The main advantage of the program is the complete flexibility it gives every participant in carrying out his/her scientific education. In addition, meeting many students from other disciplines is very enriching."
