Uri Alon (Hebrew: אורי אלון; born 1969) is a Professor and Systems Biologist at the Weizmann Institute of Science.[4] His highly cited[5] research investigates gene expression,[6] network motifs[7][8] and the design principles of biological networks[9] in Escherichia coli and other organisms using both computational biology and traditional experimental wet laboratory techniques.[10]

Education[]

Alon earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and his Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics[2][11] from the Weizmann Institute of Science.

Career[]

After having his interest in biology sparked, Alon headed to Princeton University for his postdoctoral work in experimental biology. He returned to the Weizmann Institute as a professor.

Alon features in several popular videos on YouTube such as Sunday at the Lab (with Michael Elowitz)[12] and How to Give a Good Talk.[13] As of 2011, he is the author of the most highly bookmarked scientific paper on CiteULike[14] How To Choose a Good Scientific Problem[15] and How to Build a Motivated Research Group.[16]

Awards[]

In 2004 Alon was awarded the Overton Prize[3] for "outstanding accomplishment by a scientist in the early to mid stage of his or her career" by the International Society for Computational Biology. Alon has also been awarded:
