Marco Terenzio

Postdoc 2012-2019

Marco discovered a critical role for mTOR mRNA localization in local translation regulation in axons. He moved to a faculty position at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology in August 2019. His lab' website is at https://groups.oist.jp/mnu

Christin Albus

Postdoc 2012-2016

Christin studied protein-protein interactions in the axonal retrograde signaling complex, and initiated a still-ongoing project to understand the role(s) of alternative polyadenylation on growth and regeneration of sensory neurons. She moved to the U.K. in 2016.

Barbara Costa

Postdoc and Visiting Scientist, 2007-2013.
Barbara studied cell death mechanisms downstream of the TrkA neurotrophin receptor and identified Stk25 as a catalytic effector for receptor tyrosine kinase death signaling. She then did a second postdoc with Prof. Peter Angel at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg, before moving in 2019 to work at EIT Health, also in Heidelberg.

Marek Rajman

Postdoc, 2008-2011.
Marek's postdoctoral projects were focused on proteomics analyses of neuronal growth and injury responses. After a second postdoc in the Schratt group at the University of Marburg, he moved to a position in the pharma industry.

Izhak Michaelevski, Ph.D

Postdoc, 2004-2009.
Izhak combined proteomics, mass spectrometry, and bioinformatics approaches to characterize signaling to transcription networks in axonal injury, working in collaboration with Al Burlingame’s mass spectrometry facility at UCSF. He now heads his own laboratory at Ariel University.

Avi Rimler

Postdoc 2003-2006.
Avi worked on regulation of neuronal signaling by the p75 receptor.

Stefanie Alber

PhD Student 2012-2018

Stef studied the role of an axonal RNA binding protein in sensory neuron growth and regeneration. She spent some additional time with us as a postdoc to complete her main paper, and then moved to Switzerland in early 2020.

Shachar Dagan

Ph.D., 2010-2015.
Shachar worked on the roles of transcription factors in neuronal retrograde injury signaling. He moved on to a postdoc with Chenghua Gu at Harvard Medical School in October 2015.

Keren Ben-Yaakov

PhD 2005-2010.
Keren examined involvement of the STAT3 transcription factor in the retrograde injury signal complex. She then moved to a postdoc with Eran Perlson at Tel-Aviv University, and is now a research associate at Kaplan Hospital.

Anat Lavi-Itzkovitz

PhD, 2005-2009.
Anat worked on characterizing the nuclear and cytoplasmic roles of necdin – a growth suppressor that promotes neuronal differentiation. Her postdoctoral training was in Erel Levine's lab' at Harvard, and she then shifted fields to become a bioinformatics analyst.

Shlomit Hanz

Ph.D., 2000-2005.
Shlomit discovered the central role of nuclear import factors in retrograde injury signaling in nerve axons. Her postdoctoral training was with Gabriel Corfas at Harvard Medical School.

Marianna Tcherpakov

Ph.D., 2000-2004.
Marianna's PhD thesis highlighted new MAGE family interactors for the p75 receptor. She moved on to a postdoc at the Burnham Institute (San Diego) in the autumn of 2004, and is now a biotech industry consultant in San Diego.

Tal Gradus

Tal worked as a technician in the lab during the years 2006-2008. She then moved to a position in the glaucoma research laboratory at Tel-HaShomer Medical Center, and after that to Eran Perlson's laboratory in Tel-Aviv University.
