Dr. “Yoni” Samuel J. S. Rubin completed his PhD in immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine, followed by postdoctoral training, MD, clinical residency, and fellowship at the same institution. His research focuses on better understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying chronic immune-mediated diseases and using this knowledge to develop safer, cheaper, and more effective tools for detecting and treating illness worldwide. In the field of mucosal immunology and immune cell trafficking, Dr. Rubin’s findings have inspired the development of novel blood-based methods for detection of gastroenterological conditions. Dr. Nir Qvit completed his doctorate in organic chemistry at the Hebrew University in 2008. His graduate work focused on developing strategies for synthesis of small molecules, peptides, and peptidomimetics (modified peptides) for various therapeutic applications. Dr. Qvit completed postdoctoral training and worked as a Senior Scientist in Chemical and Systems Biology at Stanford University. In 2017, Dr. Qvit became a Senior Lecturer and Principal Investigator of the multi-national and inter-disciplinary Laboratory for Chemical Biology of Protein-Protein Interactions in the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine at Bar Ilan University.

Reviews for The Ultimate Student’s Guide to Scientific Research

As someone who went through the educational process of becoming a scientist (undergraduate to graduate school), I can say the content and advice given in this book is extremely helpful and practical for anyone considering a future career in science. This includes advice on excelling in undergrad, masters and PhD programs, becoming an efficient and effective scientist, and an exploration of the various career paths in academia and industry one can apply their scientist training to. This book is well suited for students as early as high school who are considering a career in science, but there are nuggets of wisdom for scientists throughout their development cycle, including those in graduate school or just starting their own research labs. Bryan Xie, Stanford University Worthwhile for junior and experienced researchers. Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2025. This book is fantastic. I would definitely recommend it for any researcher early in their career. Having gone through it myself, I learned many things I wish I had know earlier and generally got a great perspective on plotting a career trajectory. Dan Iter
