ABSTRACT: 

Joseph (Sefi) Rosenbluh is the Victorian mid-career research fellow. He has made major contributions in functional cancer genomics and our understanding of genetic dependencies in cancer. After completing his PhD at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel he moved to the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT as a postdoctoral fellow and later as an instructor of medicine. In 2017, Sefi joined the faculty of Monash university and in addition to heading a research lab he directs the Monash functional genomics platform. His recent focus has been on developing CRISPR technologies for loss of function screens and application of these technologies for identifying new targets for cancer treatment and prediction of cancer risk.
