Omer Revah - DVM PhD
Principal investigator
Omer is an Assistant Professor in the Koret School of Veterinary Medicine at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He completed his PhD training in physiology and computational neuroscience in the Hebrew University before moving to Stanford, California to complete his postdoctoral training , where he pioneered human, stem cell-based methodologies in vivo to study developmental disorders of the brain
Anna Terem - PhD
Postdoc
I started my academic path in Hadassah Academic College, majoring biotechnology. I then completed a Ph.D. in Brain and Behavioral Sciences. My dissertation thesis focused on a comprehensive characterization of the role dopamine plays in the claustrum. In the lab, I am using brain organoids to understand how oligodendrocyte precursor cells might shape neuronal activity in schizophrenia
Lilach received her undergraduate degree in Nutrition science and her MSc in Biochemistry at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem where she explored the effect of narcotic-free khat extracts in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In the lab she uses electrophysiology and transcriptomics to understand how neuronal gene expression changes during human cortex development.
Lilach Mekonet - BA, MSc
PhD student
Tair Ziv - BA
Master’s student
Tair received her undergraduate degree in Animal sciences at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In the lab she explores genetic programs that control high order social behavior.
Ariel Hochfelder - BA
DVM-PhD student
Ariel gained experience in gene therapies in human disorders at the Weizmann Institute of Science. At the lab he is using patch clamp electrophysiology and in vivo recordings to understand the cortical development of mouse model of autism spectrum disorder
