Nir QvitDr. Nir Qvit completed his doctorate in organic chemistry, at the Hebrew University in 2008. His doctorate work focused on developing different strategies for synthesis of small molecules, peptides and peptidomimetics (modified peptides) for various herapeutic applications. Dr. Qvit joined Bar-Ilan University's team of researchers in the Galilee in October 2017, and is currently the Principle Investigator of the Laboratory for Chemical Biology of Protein-Protein Interactions in the Faculty of Medicine. Dr. Qvit's current research focuses on development of novel tools to regulate protein-protein interactions. He uses a rational approach to design and develop short peptides and peptidomimetics derived from protein regulatory domains to modulate their function in a selective manner. Dr. Qvit is a reviewer for many scientific journals, including the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and Journal of Peptide Science; and he was a guest editor of a special issue of Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry.
