labs

Laboratory of Behavioral Neurobiology

In the laboratory we research the interrelations between different behavioral patterns and environmental conditions (such as social changes, reproduction cycles, bird migration)

Laboratory of Evolutionary Biology and Behavioral Ecology of Birds

In the laboratory we examine the impressive biological diversity that is expressed in morphological, ecological and behavioral traits, in order to try to understand the evolution of traits

Laboratory of Molecular Cell Research

The laboratory deals with molecular cell research and focuses on the genetical control of cell division and growth by the TOR protein kinase-dependent signaling pathway.

aboratory for the Structure and Functioning of Receptors

Receptors attached to G proteins participate in most of the processes of transmitting signals to the body, from receiving light, smells and tastes from the external environment to communication

Laboratory of Supramolecular Chemistry and Advanced Materials

Prof. Ofer Reany’s research group consists of post-doctoral researchers who come from abroad for 2–4 years to acquire experience in independent research and train them for positions in academia or industry.

Laboratory for Proteolysis Research

About a quarter to a third of all the cell proteins formed in the cell pass through the cell excretory system that begins in the stage of the transition from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where the proteins undergo changes after translation

Laboratory for Marine Geochemical Research

Chemical processes in the sea directly and strongly affect the composition of the atmosphere, the Earth’s climate and the ability and suitability of various organisms (including humans) to live on Earth.

A computational lab - Evolution of the genome

Our research focuses on molecular evolution and the evolution of the genome. Specifically we are interested in two topics: Evolution of organelles and endosybiotic gene transfer, Evolutionary insights into genome instability

Laboratory of Psychobiology

The psychobiology laboratory in Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center focuses on developing plant-based medicines for anxiety and depression. The conventional medicines that exist today such as Prozac and Cipralex begin to be effective

Laboratory of Computational Biology

Noam Shental’s research group is at the junction between computer science and biology, attempting to solve problems in biology using computational tools, such as computational learning and optimization methods.

Laboratory for Reliability and Usability of Communication Networks

Dr. Shir Landau Feibish’s research group deals with developing technologies to manage and monitor communication networks in general and the internet in particular.

Neuro-Biomorphic Engineering Laboratory (NBEL)

Neuro-biomorphic engineering deals with developing computers and algorithms based on neural computation. It thus deals with a new computational paradigm with far-reaching implications in the fields of robotics
