Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology

Dr. Meller is the principle investigator of the "Single-Molecule Biophysics and Nano-biotechnology" lab located at the Lokey center for Life-Sciences & Engineering. His lab employs various single molecule methods, such as nanopore sensors and fluorescence microscopy (FRET) to study bimolecular function in vitro and in live cells. Specific areas of interest are: protein translation initiation and control, epigenetic, and early detection of biological markers for biomedical applications.

Co-founder, CEO & President of Genomic Vision

Aaron Bensimon founded Genomic Vision in 2004, before he spent 15 years as a researcher at the Pasteur Institut in Paris where he discovered the DNA "molecular combing" procedure, while he was the head of the Genome Stability Unit. Genomic Vision is providing molecular combing and Genomic Morse Code analysis for both research and diagnostics of genetic diseases.
