This week, after more than 10 years of dedicated work, we are saying goodbye to our lab manager, Dr. Alexandra Massarwa, whose contribution has been central to the group’s growth, daily operations, and commitment to maintain a high standard of work that has been essential to the lab’s success.

This week we had the pleasure of welcoming in our lab the British ambassador to Israel, Mr. Simon Walters and Ravit Capauner, the head of Birax. Thank you for taking the time to meet with us. Your visit emphasizes the significance of the fruitful scientific collaboration between Israel and the UK!

It was a pleasure to host Prof. Meytal Landau at BGU for a seminar on amyloids today!
Prof. Meytal Landau shared fascinating insights into the complex world of amyloids, from their biological functions to their potential applications.
Many thanks for the inspiring visit!

I am happy to have spent 2 interesting weeks initiating research collaboration at the laboratory of Dr. Gabriella Katalin Pocsfalvi in Napoli, Italy, in the framework of the Short Term Mobility Program – 2025 (STM 2025) of the CNR.

Honored to speak at the first Functional Amyloid Meeting @DESY on “Functional amyloids: the good, thebad, and the beautiful.”

Happy Rosh Hashana!🍎🍯

Proud to present my research, and BGU in general, at Christ University, Bangalore, India. Thanking the university and my host Prof. TP Vinod for the warm hospitality.
