Who Are We
We are Regina Ring and Yehuda Dinaii. Our journey into peroxisome biology began with a personal discovery: our daughters’ sensorineural hearing loss is caused by the missense mutation PEX26-F51L. This finding drove us to investigate how this mutation disrupts peroxisome biogenesis and ultimately leads to sensorineural hearing loss.
Regina Ring
Regina holds an MSc in Computer Science from Tel Aviv University and a BSc in Information Systems from the Technion — Israel Institute of Technology. She works as a Staff Software Engineer and contributes to the computational and infrastructural aspects of this research.
Yehuda Dinaii
Yehuda holds a PhD in Physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science, where his research focused on theoretical condensed matter physics. He subsequently completed a two-year postdoc at the Ohio State University. In recent years his research direction has shifted toward structural and computational biology, motivated by the search for a deeper understanding of the PEX26-F51L mutation and its consequences.
He is an Adjunct Lecturer at Afeka Academic College of Engineering and at Achva Academic College, and his current research focuses on structural and computational modeling of the PEX1/PEX6/PEX26 AAA-ATPase complex.
