Shirley S. Daube is an associate staff scientist in the group of Roy Bar-Ziv in the Department of Materials and Interfaces at the Weizmann Institute, conducting research in synthetic biology. In her previous position she has established and headed for ten years the Nano-Bio center at the Chemistry faculty at the Weizmann Institute whose main aim is to provide support for integrative research at the interface between molecular biology, biochemistry, and material sciences. She has earned her PhD in Chemistry from the University of Oregon, USA with Prof. Peter von Hippel. Her research experience over the last 25 years has been at the interface between chemistry and biology asking biologically oriented questions with a synthetic approach in mind, mainly focusing on mechanisms of various enzymatic DNA transactions. In addition to active research she is teaching biochemistry of nucleic acids courses at the Weizmann institute at the graduate level as well as to high-school Chemistry teachers.

Roy Bar-Ziv is an associate professor in the Department of Materials and Interfaces at the Weizmann Institute. His research is inspired by emergent behavior and molecular computation in biological systems, such as the early stages of embryo development, and by semiconductor information technology. He combines physics, biology, and materials science to construct and explore cell-mimicking, artificial biological compartments on a chip. Bar-Ziv earned his PhD in physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science. He did his postdoctoral training at the Rockefeller University, where he received Burroughs Wellcome, Fulbright, and Rothschild fellowships. He has been a Radcliffe institute fellow in 2014-2015.
