Aviv Regev is a computational biologist at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard,[1] an assistant professor in the department of biology at Massachusetts Institute of Technology[3] and an Early Career Scientist at Howard Hughes Medical Institute.[4]

Regev completed her Ph.D. at Tel Aviv University under the supervision of Eva Jablonka and Ehud Shapiro[5] and was award the Overton Prize in 2008 for "outstanding accomplishment to a scientist in the early to mid stage of his or her career".[6]

Her highly-cited[7][8][9] research includes work on gene expression[10][11] (with Eran Segal and David Botstein), and the use of π-calculus to represent biochemical processes.[12][13]
