about

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia.

looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.

Adi Livnat
  • Principal Investigator
  • Princeton University, Ph.D.
  • Princeton University, M.A.
  • Stanford University, B.S.

Adi received his undergraduate degree in Biology at Stanford University and his Masters and Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton Univ-ersity. He was then a Miller Fellow at the Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science at UC Berkeley, hosted by Christos Papadimitriou at the Computer Science Di-vision. Under Adi's directorship, the lab studies evolution from both a theoretical and an empirical perspective, focusing on the role of mutational and recombinational mechanisms in evolution. We also work at the interface of Evolutionary Biology and Theoretical Computer Science.

Daniel received his undergraduate degree in Biology and his Masters in Cell Research and Immunology at Tel Aviv University, and his Ph.D. in Biology at the Israel Institute of Technology, the Technion. He was then a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Fellow at the University of Washington at Seattle working at the lab of Stanley Fields. Daniel is an expert on molecular biological methods development. He spearheads the design of novel techniques and their application to the study of mutational and recombinational mechanisms in our lab and helps to supervise research projects on the fundamental nature of mutation.
