Shahar Edelman is at the direct route MSc student in Brain and Cognitive Science at Computational Neuropsychiatry Lab, researching ways for early identification and explanation of inter-individual differences in Alzheimer's disease, using machine learning and neuroimaging techniques.
Aluma Haiman's M.Sc. studies focus on the non-traditional function of Hb in the hindbrain under the supervision of Prof. Dalit Sela-Donenfeld at the School of Veterinary Sciences, and the lab of Prof. Efrat Monsonego-Ornan at the Institute of Biochemistry, Food Science and Nutrition. Her research aims to determine the spatiotemporal expression of Hb in the developing hindbrain to identify which specific cell expresses it and knock down the Hb genes to determine the effect on the relevant cell types.
Zvi is a direct M.Sc. student in the Department of Neurobiology, in the lab of Dr. Ariel Gilad. He researches brain-wide neuronal networks underlying novelty recognition and how these networks undergo dysfunction throughout the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.
Lilian Zimmer is an MA student in the Applied Neuropsychology program at the Social Cognitive Neuroscience Lab under Professor Anat Perry's guidance. Her research focuses on effects of sleep loss and chronotype on empathic abilities.
Netta Livneh has a B.Sc in Biology and Brain and Cognitive Science. She is currently enrolled in the direct PhD program at ELSC (The Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences) while working at Avitan's lab. In her research, she tries to unravel the neural mechanisms underlying different behaviors in the zebrafish larvae, and the different factors that affect these mechanisms, by using whole-brain recordings at the single cell resolution.
Tamar is a student in the direct MSc track in Brain and Cognitive Sciences. Under the supervision of Prof. Inbal Arnon, Tamar is studying the cognitive mechanisms involved in sign language acquisition as a second language.
Eden is a direct MSc student in Genetics at the Meshorer Lab, part of the Institute of Life Sciences and the ELSC Center for Brain Sciences, under the guidance of Professor Eran Meshorer. Her research focuses on liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and its role in genome organization during neuronal differentiation. By studying the structure-function relationships of nuclear condensates, her work aims to uncover insights into cellular differentiation and cancer processes, with potential implications for novel therapeutic strategies.
Gali Schwartz, a direct Ph.D. student at The Edmond and Lili Safra Center for Brain Science, is conducting research under the guidance of Dr. Naomi Habib. Her work is centered on investigating the cellular mechanisms associated with aging, with a particular emphasis on Alzheimer's disease. Employing genomics tools, her study seeks to elucidate the intricate cellular alterations and intercellular dynamics that constitute the fundamental basis of Alzheimer's disease.
Shira is a M.Sc student in the genetics department at the Alexander Silberman institute of Life Science. Her research is conducted under the guidance of Prof. Eran Meshorer, with the intent to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases, with emphasis on Huntington's disease. The research is conducted using disease modeling in pluripotent stem cells, and employing molecular tools to investigate the disease mechanism in these cells.
Maayan Wellins is an MA student in psychology. During the course of her studies, she uses the Affect Regulation Coding System (ARCS) to research the effect of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) on the social cognitive abilities of people with Parkinson's Disease under the tutelage of Prof. Hillel Aviezer and Dr. Shir Atzil.
