Prof. Tsvelikhovsky joined the Institute for Drug Research (IDR) at the School of Pharmacy of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2012 where he holds a research and teaching appointment.

He received his MSc and PhD degrees from the Hebrew University where he worked with Prof. Jochanan Blum. 

During the MSc, Prof. Tsvelikhovsky studied the mechanism of alkylation of double bonds by aluminum compounds in the presence of lanthanide catalysts. His PhD thesis work concerned new applications of sol-gel technology to organic synthesis.

In 2009, Prof. Tsvelikhovsky undertook postdoctoral training at the Department of Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with the laboratory of Prof. Stephen L. Buchwald.
