I am very excited to be in the Rabinowitch lab and do basic research in biology. During my PhD at the Givat Ram campus of the Hebrew University I focused on basic cellular procceses such as protein quality control and aging. My main model organism was the yeast cell so now I am happy to have evolutionaly progressed to a multicellular organism - the marvelous C. elegans.

I love science and research, and I'm very happy to be in the Rabinowitch lab as a PhD student. 
My MS.c degree in Biochemistry at the Hebrew University dealt with Post Partum Depression and the effect of various materials on changes in the brain (in a mouse model)
The brain is a fascinating organ, and I'm very excited for the opportunity to study its networks in further depth, through the extraordinary model organism C.elegans.
in a wonderful new lab with great people.

Better understanding the brain works is a life goal of mine, and ever since I learned about C. elegans I am even more eager to use this relatively simple, yet fascinating organism as a model to explore the boundaries of neuronal networks, mechanism of memory formation and extraction, and the basis of behavior.

I did my Bachelor's degree in Chemistry and Biology, my Master’s in Molecular biology and Biochemistry, and now during my PhD I want to focus on understanding the Mind of the Worm.

It has been my childhood dream to pursue a career in research. I am immensely curious and passionate about understanding how things work. At IISER Mohali, where I did my Masters, I got exposure to different areas of scientific research, such as physics, maths, chemistry, and biology. It was the complexity of biological systems, especially the brain, that truly fascinated me. So, for my Masters, I studied the small (yet complex) nervous system of C. elegans, both theoretically and experimentally. In the Rabinowitch lab, I am further exploring the role of the structure-function relations of the C. elegans nervous system. Outside the lab, I like to spend my free time reading novels and exploring this new place and its exciting culture.

Understanding the brain, the complexity of its neural circuits that give raise and enable intricate behaviors, has long been a dream of mine. During my bachelor's degree in biomedical science at the Hebrew University, I became even more interested in the field of neuroscience, specifically at the level of neural circuits, and decided to focus my future studies and research work in this field. I'm very glad to be able to study the simple yet fascinating model organism C. elegans. The relative compact neural networks of the worm and the exciting ability to manipulate and engineer them, is for me the perfect way to better understand how neural circuits function, and generate behavior. I am excited to work on such a promising model with the help and guidance of great people.

From a young age I have been interested in understanding the functionality, plasticity and modulation of the brain and it's smaller, interconnected parts; during my Biomedical Sciences bachelor's degree, I became even more excited about the prospect of investigating these aspects of neural circuits at the molecular level, and especially with a synthetic biology approach. I am excited to be a part of the lab and research of C. elegans, which is a fantastic model for combining high-throughput methods and bioinformatics with molecular biology, in order to affect and modulate the nervous system.

Ever since I heard about Neuroscience I was very curious about the field. This encouraged me to do a research project in a lab investigating the olfactory system in mice during my Bachelor's degree in Biology and Physics at the Hebrew University.  Now I'm very excited to continue exploring the field of Neuroscience further. I'm looking forward to try and unveil the basic principals of our nervous system function using the fascinating model C.elegans, with the guidance of wonderful people. 

My passion and curiosity about exploring the human brain has fueled my scientific interest since childhood. Through focusing on studying neurobiology during my bachelor’s degree, I have acquired lots of knowledge and deeper understanding in the fundamental principles and intricate functions of the brain. However, my scientific journey expanded beyond the human brain when I stumbled upon the elegantly simple yet incredibly sophisticated nervous system of the model organism, C. elegans. By recognizing its potential to unlock key insights into neuroscience, I decided to set out on a journey of exploration and discovery. Currently, my focus lies on investigating the neural circuits and their pivotal role in decision-making. By combining my neurobiology background with my research on C. elegans, I aspire to make significant contribution to the field of neuroscience and to our understanding of the brain.

During my undergraduate studies in biotechnology I realized that biology and medicine are of major interest to me. My current Masters research in biomedicine focuses on how to rewire the behavior of C. elegans to create artificial collective swarming, as part of the Biological Animal Robot (BABot) project. In the future, I hope to become some day a surgeon.

I have always been deeply curious about the mechanisms of biological systems. During my undergraduate studies in biomedicine, I developed a strong passion for neuroscience, particularly in understanding how connections between neurons shape behavior. This fascination led me to pursue a Master's degree in the Rabinovitch lab, where I am excited to combine synthetic biology with neuroscience using the model organism C. elegans. My current research focuses on engineering and manipulating the neuronal circuits and behavior of C. elegans, as part of the BABot project. I am eager to contribute to this field alongside wonderful lab members and help expand our understanding of how neural circuits drive behaviors at the cellular level.

Since I was young, I was curious about how the human body works and eager to explore its mysteries. This curiosity led me to combine medical studies with research. I believe that research is essential for future doctors, as it deepens our understanding of biology and helps connect lab discoveries to improving patient care. When I was introduced to the Rabinowitch lab, I was drawn to its innovative approach to studying neuroscience. The brain is such a fascinating organ, with so much left to discover, and I’m excited to take part in uncovering some of its secrets.

I have always been fascinated by science and the intricacies of nature. As the most crucial, yet least understood organ, the brain is a particularly compelling subject to research, and the complexity of its mechanisms draw me into discovering more about it. After studying the brain from a psychological perspective in my bachelor’s, I am excited to be delving into its workings on a concrete cellular level. I am especially interested in the prospect of rewiring the neural circuits of C. elegans, and I am delighted to be a part of this lab doing such fun and fascinating work.
