Dr. Berta Strulovici
Head of The Israel National Center for Personalized Medicine
The Center applies novel technologies in genomics, proteomics and High Throughput Screening to enable and advance Personalized Medicine in Israel.
Prof. Yossi Yarden
Growth factors and their transmembrane receptors relay systems in cancer phases and translational research.
Prof. Moshe Oren
p53 as a tumor suppressor: exploring the mechanistic links between regulation of gene expression and cancer.
Dr. Ravid Straussman
Studying different mechanisms which render cancer cells resistant to chemotherapy. The group employs advanced high-throughput screening methods as well as in-vivo models to study the biology that underlies chemoresistance with the hope that breakthrough in this field would ultimately translate into better treatment options for cancer patients.
Prof. Yardena Samuels
Identifies the genes that are altered in cancer and elucidates the cellular pathways that these alterations perturb. To do this her group employs high throughout, whole exome and whole genome sequencing technologies, to identify novel mutations in cutaneous malignant melanoma.
Dr. Valery Krizhanovsky
Studies molecular mechanisms of cellular senescence (a permanent cell cycle arrest) and its role in human diseases. His lab utilizes elaborate mouse models and tissue culture techniques to understand how senescent cells communicate with their microenvironment to impact wound healing response, cancer progression and aging.
Prof. Michal Neeman
Vascular remodeling in cancer and metastasis: MRI imaging approach
Prof. Idit Shachar
Studying several aspects of the mechanisms that regulate B cell homing, differentiation and survival.
Prof. Avigdor Scherz
Quantification of atoms, groups and molecules electronegati using metal substituted bacteriochlorophylls and application to chemical reactivity.
Resolving the forces which drive membrane protein assembly.
The mechenism behind generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by illuminating novel bacteriochlorophyll derivatives and their application in photodynamic therapy (PDT) of tumors.
