Biography
Gali Prag has earned his PhD from the Hebrew University, Israel. With his supervisor Prof. Oppenheim, he has studied bacterial genetics and obtained two EMBO Fellowships to determine the structures of several chitin-degrading enzymes in complex with their native substrates. He has completed his Postdoctoral studies at the NIH with Professor James Hurley, where he determined the first structures of ubiquitin-receptor complexes with ubiquitin and some of the ESCRT complexes. In 2008, he returned to Israel and established a structural-biology and bacterial genetic laboratory in TAU.
