Quality, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Rehovot.
His research interests are:
- Molecular analysis of the biological clock in mammals
- The relationship between the biological clock and nutrition
- Control of the biological clock over the innate immunity
- Regulation of mammalian defensin expression.
- Structure/function of mammalian defensins
- Defensin and Toll-like receptor expression in diabetes
- Molecular evolution of defensins

Oren earned his BSc in 1994 and his MSc in 1995 both at
Tel-Aviv University, Faculty of Life Sciences. He earned his
Ph.D. from Tel-Aviv University with the thesis
"Scorpion neurotoxins: structure-activity relationship,
evolution, and potential application" in 1999.
He did his post doctorate work in neurosciences at
Harvard Medical School and University of Massachusetts Medical School
from 2000 to 2003.
