Friday's Digest - The Newsletter for Doctors & Scientists

For two decades, I've been developing tools that have improved my practice in medicine, dentistry, and scientific research.

Join me every Friday to discover a new tool you can integrate into your workflow as a doctor, a scientist, or both.

I believe in sharing knowledge, embracing automation, boosting productivity, and finding joy in the process.

Who am I

I’m an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon who traveled from my home country Israel to Boston, MA, United States, for a 2-year fellowship program in Head and Neck Cancer Surgical Oncology and Microvascular Reconstruction. 


I’m also a scientist with a major interest in head and neck cancer, immunology, and immunotherapy. Simply put, I investigate the relationship between our immune system and head and neck cancer to push our immune system to fight cancer. 


Academically, I’m finally approaching the end of my training, which has lasted 21 years. Over the years, I completed my BMedSc, Masters, PhD, Dentistry School, Medical School, Residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Research Fellowship in Immunology, Medical Internship, and nowadays, I’m a Surgical Fellow.
