Dr. Ehud Altman

Looking Forward for a new kinds of superconductors

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Dr. Ehud Altman: "Nothing can compare to the feeling you get at the moment of understanding something new, something we didn't know before. I look forward to many more of these moments." Nonresistance Heats Up.
Prof. Daniella Goldfarb

Looking Forward to improved methods for probing enzyme activity

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Prof. Daniella Goldfarb: "My dream is to develop EPR methods that can reveal enzymatic activities occurring in short (millisecond) time scales and use them to produce a 'movie' that shows the changes taking place both in the enzyme's active core and in the entire enzyme as it takes part in the reaction."  
Dr. Barak Dayan

Looking Forward for a future quantum technologies

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Dr. Barak Dayan: "I want to learn how to control single photons in the way we control electrons today. Once we can do that, the fields of computing and communication will make a leap to the quantum world, bringing within our reach the vast possibilities offered by its unique and fascinating rules."
Prof. Ada Yonath

Looking Forward to deciphering the secrets of protein manufacture

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Prof. Ada Yonath: "Ribosomes are the essence of life. In the future, we would like to understand how the very first ribosomes came into being."  
Dr. Boris Rybtchinski

Looking Forward to create self-assembling solar collectors

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Dr. Boris Rybtchinski: "In the future, I hope we'll be smart enough to replace the burning of coal and oil with advanced self-assembling systems that will make the most of solar energy."  
Dr. Ron Milo

Looking Forward to improvements on natural photosynthesis

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Dr. Ron Milo: "Our future depends on breakthroughs in the use of energy, water and land. My students and I will bring all of our motivation and talent to bear on the challenge of utilizing atmospheric carbon dioxide to make food and fuel, a key issue in the quest to live in a sustainable world."
Prof. Adi Kimchi

Looking Forward to observing a cell's path to self-destruction

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Prof. Adi Kimchi: "My aim is to reveal the complete self-destruct network. This understanding will help us to fix problems – both those of excess cell death, as in degenerative nerve diseases, and those in which harmful cells fail to die, such as cancer."
Dr. Michal Sharon

Looking Forward to unprecedented insight into cellular mechanics

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Dr. Michal Sharon: "Today, our mass spectrometry approach is limited to bacteria and yeast. In the future, we aim to be able to apply this method to complexes isolated directly from mammalian cells, giving us unprecedented insight into cellular mechanics."
Prof. Yadin Dudai

Looking Forward to revealing the mechanisms of memory and forgetting

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Prof. Yadin Dudai: "Our research could contribute to a better understanding of human behavior. It might aid in the treatment of post-traumatic stress syndrome, as well as open new pathways to strengthening memory thathas weakened either naturally or as the result of mishap."
Dr. Elad Schneidman

Looking Forward to observing neurons acting collectively

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Dr. Elad Schneidman: "We are starting to connect the letters of the neurons' language into syllables; we hope to understand words and even sentences soon. Hopefully, in the future, we'll be able to directly read complex information stored in the brain by deciphering the patterns of neural activity."
