Prof. Lital Alfonta obtained her M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Biochemistry and Organic Chemistry. She then moved to The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California for her postdoctoral studies. In the Fall of 2006 she has started her own group at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. Her research focuses on protein engineering for improved communication between enzymes and electrodes (electron transfer) and development of genetic code expansion tools to enable protein engineering.
Dr. Ramon Birnbaum is the incumbent of the Belle and Murray Nathan Career Development Chair in Neurobiology, and the Principal Investigator of the Genomics and Transcriptional Regulation Laboratory at BGU. He is member of the Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cells, the Zlotowski Center for Neuroscience, and he is a co-founder of the Evolutionary Genomics and Medicine Center at BGU. Dr. Birnbaum was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) where he conducted research at the UCSF Institute for Human Genetics. Dr. Birnbaum’s focus was on functional genomics, gene regulation, and human disease. His research group is currently investigating genome-wide regulatory elements that are involved in inhibitory interneuron differentiation during brain development and their role in neurodevelopmental disorders.
Dr. Idit Dahan obtained her M.Sc. and Ph.D.and degrees from Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Life Sciences. She continued to her Postdoctoral studies in the same University. Since 2005 she is the Lab manager of Prof. Ohad Medalia in Ben Gurion University. The lab focuses on the research of the nucleus skeleton using electron microscopy.
