Background &
Timeline

The longer story: where I trained, where I worked, and what draws these disciplines together.

Amit Gross is a life sciences and data-oriented researcher with a background in neurobiology, bioinformatics, computational neuroscience, scientific operations, and teaching.

My recent work has focused on computational analysis of Drosophila connectome data, including large-scale processing, graph-based analysis, synaptic organization, and visual/statistical interpretation of neural data. Alongside research, I have worked in scientific support and operations environments, including a core facility at the Weizmann Institute of Science and data/information systems work connected to Moderna's EMEA call center through IQVIA.

I have also taught and supported students and researchers in Python, research methods, neurohistology, microscopy, and scientific workflows. My portfolio reflects this mixed profile: scientific research, computational analysis, operational execution, and teaching.
