Noa Rappaport, PhD

Chief Data Officer

After completing her multi-disciplinary BS in biology within the Excellence Program of the Technion Israel Institute of Technology, Dr. Rappaport obtained her PhD in Life Sciences in the Weizmann Institute of Science under the supervision of Prof. Naama Barkai, and continued to a Senior Internship position in the Lancet laboratory. Dr. Rappaport continued in the Institute for Systems Biology as a Research Scientist and then a Senior Research scientist in the Hood-Price Lab for Systems Biomedicine. Dr. Rappaport has broad expertise and extensive experience in computational biology, machine learning and multi-omic analysis, with specific expertise in network analysis, and systems biology of human diseases. Dr. Rappaport has years of experience working with and leading teams in the development of integrated biological databases and mathematical models across disciplines including molecular biology, computer science and bioinformatics, as she was instrumental in the development and maintenance of integrated gene, disease, enhancers and pathway databases (GeneCards, MalaCards, GeneHancer, PathCards). Dr. Rappaport’s work has resulted in multiple impactful scientific publications. Dr. Rappaport is currently the PI of the Systems Biology core for the NIA funded Longevity Consortium, responsible for data integration and multi-omic analysis. She is also leading a number of multi-omic analysis projects at ISB, and a number of cross consortia collaborations. Her recent work focused on the reflection of the gut microbiome in the human metabolome and its impact on human health and longevity, as well as on developing holistic health biomarkers (biological age, biological BMI). At Phenome Health, Dr. Rappaport leads the data and analysis team, leveraging her knowledge and hands-on experience for creating large-scale deep phenomic analysis applications to provide clinically actionable possibilities.
