Born and raised in Be'er-Sheva.

Playing the flute in the Be'er-Sheva Municipal Concert Band named after Nissim Alsheikh.

I did my graduate degrees at Prof. Assaf Rudich lab in BGU. My M.Sc. and Ph.D. were focusing the metabolic changes of the liver and adipose tissue during diet and the expression of miRNAs in the liver during both gain and loss weight.

Research Associate in The CooksLab since August 2020, working for Alpha TAU Medical (https://www.alphatau.com/) focuses on research, development, and commercialization of Alpha DaRT (Diffusing Alpha-Emitters Radiation Therapy). I am conducting In vitro and In vivo experiments with DaRT to explore the mechanisms of the treatment and the effectiveness of DaRT treatment on more cancer types.
