Lab Team

Noa earned her PhD in Neurobiology from HUJI, where she also completed her postdoctoral training. She then joined Stanford University to develop novel approaches for antiviral drug discovery. As Lab Manager, she supports research activities through expertise in management, protein technologies, and therapeutic development.

Pushpendra studies protein aggregation and structure-based drug discovery at the interface of neurodegeneration and viral pathogenesis. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Tel Aviv University on protein aggregation in cataract and cancer and earned his Ph.D. from IIT Mandi.

Bharat is interested in the molecular mechanisms and structural basis of how microbial factors and protein-protein interactions influence tau aggregation and propagation in neurodegeneration. He completed his Master’s degree at Devi Ahilya University in India and subsequently worked as a Research Associate at IIT Jodhpur.

Idan is a PhD student interested in disease-associated amyloid proteins and the molecular mechanisms underlying amyloid-related diseases. He hopes to deepen his understanding of these diseases and contribute to the development of new therapeutic approaches. In his free time, he enjoys cooking and walking his dog, Bruno.

"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious" (Albert Einstein). Sharon is curious to understand how our world works and to find answers to big questions in biochemistry. He completed his BSc in Life Sciences at the Hebrew University and is now investigating how viral amyloids may contribute to tau pathology in tauopathies.

Noa is a student of Chemistry and Biology with a deep curiosity about the molecular basis of diseases. She aspires to contribute meaningfully to scientific research in her future career. In her free time, she grows plants and conducts selection experiments as an extension of her scientific curiosity.

Adi is an undergraduate student majoring in Life Sciences and Cognition at the Hebrew University. She is interested in exploring the world of structural biology to expand her knowledge and advance in the fields of academic and medical research.

Fatimah is an undergraduate Biology student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She is passionate about biochemistry, genetics, and all fields of biology. She enjoys studying, learning new things, teaching others, and sharing knowledge. Outside of science, she loves photography and enjoys capturing meaningful moments and beautiful details.

Yael is an undergraduate Psychobiology student at the Hebrew University. She has been curious about science since she was young and loves learning about life and the natural world we live in.
