Phone:  +972-73-3781894
I am a master's student in the Nanotechnology and Nanoscience program, and I am conducting my research in this field. I received my bachelor's degree from the Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Engineering at the Technion in 2024. In 2023, I led the Technion team in the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition, where we won a gold medal and were ranked in the "top five" in two nominations. My research focuses on engineering systems for delivering therapeutic mRNA to human cells. In addition, I am working on developing synthetic molecules that will be incorporated into this system to help dissolve aggregates associated with neurodegenerative diseases, with the aim of advancing potential therapeutic approaches.
