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."

Prof. Hadassa Degani

Looking Forward to more accurate, less invasive cancer diagnosis

01.11.2009

People and Events›People

Prof. Hadassa Degani: "The advances in this technology have the potential to revolutionize the field of diagnostics. I have no doubt that all these methods will eventually be translated to clinical use. In the meantime, we continue to get ever newer and better tools."

Dr. Lilach Gilboa

Looking Forward to find out what makes a stem cell tick

01.11.2009

People and Events›People

Dr. Lilach Gilboa: "I hope to reveal the orchestrated steps by which cells of different kinds come together to form a beautifully structured, functioning organ."
