o Led a team of graduate, undergraduate and gifted high-school students (Alpha program) to characterize the amyloidogenic properties of SAA and β2m associated with systemic amyloidosis, which resulted in finding small molecules capable of inhibiting their toxic aggregation as a therapeutic strategyo I took part in a cross-functional collaboration with scientists from our department and from Rambam health care campus (Haifa) which resulted in two publications. The first paper explored the amyloidogenic properties of a cataract-associated crystallin model, while the second paper presented the identification of a small molecule that demonstrated the ability to restore transparency of sonicated human cataract ex-vivoo I took part in a cross-functional collaboration with scientists from our department and the BLAVATNIK center for drug discovery and performed high throughput screening for the identification of small molecules capable of inhibiting and reverting the aggregation of peptide associated with Alzheimer disease, resulting in one publicationo Grant proposal writing led to the prestigious Yanai PhD fellowship awarded by the Ministry of Science and Technology
