The 2023 Rappaport Prize is given to Prof. Eli Pikarsky!
We are thrilled to extend our warmest congratulations to Prof. Eli Pikarsky for being awarded the highly esteemed 2023 Rappaport Prize. This award is a testament to Prof. Pikarsky’s outstanding contributions to the research of inflammation and hepatocellular carcinoma, which have garnered worldwide recognition. The Rappaport Prize, awarded biennially by the Rappaport Family Institute for […]
Congratulations to Prof. Moshe Kotler for his 2 studies published in The FEBS Journal!
In the first study, the researchers found that the protein APOBEC3G (A3G) helps repair DNA double-strand breaks and can even rescue mice from lethal doses of radiation. This protein is also involved in nucleotide excision repair and homologous recombination DNA repair pathways. These findings suggest that inhibiting A3G could increase the sensitivity of tumor cells […]
The 2023 Krill Prize for Excellence in Scientific Research is given to Dr. Yotam Drier!
Congratulations to Dr. Yotam Drier on receiving the prestigious Krill Prize for his outstanding contributions to scientific research. The Krill Prize is awarded to outstanding academic faculty members and promising researchers from research universities in Israel who have demonstrated significant research breakthroughs and who are expected to lead research and academia in Israel in the […]
Congratulations to Dr. Yotam Drier for receiving the ICRF Acceleration Grant!
Dr. Yotam Drier, in collaboration with Dr. Michal Rabani from the Silberman Institute of Life Science in the Hebrew University, received a grant from the Israel Cancer Research Fund (ICRF). Together they will study the role of changes in enhancer RNA methylation in glioma, cholangiocarcinoma, and gastric cancer.
The Faculty of Medicine and the Department of Immunology and Cancer Research sadly announce the passing of Prof. Dov Bernard Solizeanou z”l.
He kindly donated his body to science, and therefore, no funeral will be held. The Shiva will be in the family home on Orvani St. 1, Zichron Yaakov (Floor 5, Apartment 19), on Friday (11-16), Saturday (16-20), and Sunday-Tuesday (10-20). Emails for condolences: Oritsulitz@gmail.com or Anatsulke@gmail.com
Congratulations to Dr. Yotam Drier and his former MSc. student Yahel Yedidya for their article published in PLoS Computational Biology!
The researchers revealed how SARS-CoV-2 infection perturbs enhancer-mediated regulation in lung alveolar cells to drive key pathways that support disease progression, including Wnt signaling, MAPK signaling and cell adhesion. In particular, they focus on the transcription factor WT1 and show its disruption by SARS-CoV-2 plays an important role in these perturbed transcriptional networks. To Dr. […]
The Lautenberg Center stands in solidarity with the brave IDF soldiers, dedicated security forces, and the citizens of the southern region who are confronting a severe and unprecedented terrorist threat.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims of this violence. We wish a speedy recovery to the injured and pray for the safe return of all those who have been kidnapped, taken hostage, or are currently missing. The Lautenberg Center is actively supporting the residents of the south and the IDF […]
Congratulations to Prof. Dana Wolf and her colleagues on their publication in Nature Medicine!
Congratulations to Prof. Dana Wolf and her colleagues on their remarkable achievement! Their recent publication in Nature Medicine on the implementation of pooled saliva PCR tests for universal screening of congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is truly commendable. Their innovative approach demonstrates wide feasibility, efficiency, and sensitivity, offering a cost-saving solution for screening. Well done on this […]
To all our dear Muslim friends, colleagues, and students, may this Ramadan be peaceful and joyful.
Congratulations to Dr. Yotam Drier and his team for their article published in Cell Reports!diatric Cancer Research!
In the paper, the researchers profile single cells of adenoid cystic carcinoma tumors, and reveal the transcriptional characteristics of two malignant cell types – myoepithelial cells and luminal epithelial cells. Computational analysis reveals paracrine interactions between the myoepithelial cells that express Notch ligands DLL1, JAG1, and JAG2 which activate the Notch pathway in the luminal cells, supporting their oncogenic growth. Figure […]
