I am a Ph.D. student at Prof. Oded Livnah from The Life Science Department ad and Dr. Barak Raveh from the school of Computer Science.
I was born and raised in Jaffa. Since high school, I was always intrigued by scientific research in general and specifically in biochemistry.
In the lab of Pro. Livnah we decipher protein structure and examine it for biotechnological purposes.
In the lab of Dr. Raveh, we use computational methods to examine databases of sequences, structures of proteins and more.
The main goal of my Ph.D is to understand the characteristics of nuclear pore complex (NTRs), including its structures and functions, and to use this knowledge to try and, hopefully, design synthetic NTRs for therapeutic purposes.
