Biography

Opher Gileadi obtained his PhD in Biochemistry at the Hebrew University and was then a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University Medical School. Subsequently he led a research group at the Weizmann Institute of Science. From 2004-2021 he was both at SGC University of Oxford, first as head of the Biotechnology group, then as Principal Investigator of the Genome Integrity & Repair Group as well as Head of the SGC Kinase Chemical Biology Center at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP). In 2021 Opher took at position as Executive Director, Protein Science and Structure at Exscientia, but re-join the SGC at Karolinska in 2023.

Opher leads the Protein Science team at SGC Karolinska, focussing on developing antibodies and target-enabling packages (TEPs) for under-investigated proteins of humans and pathogens.
