New scientists

Dr. Nir Fluman’s research on cell membranes may have implications for cystic fibrosis, heart arrhythmias, epilepsy, and other conditions as well as provide methods for overcoming antibiotic resistance.

Dr. Barak Zackay hunts for exotic astrophysical phenomena such as supernovae, binary black holes, pulsars, gravitational waves, and exoplanets, and has invented techniques to record and analyze these interstellar events.

Quantum computing holds major promise for faster and more powerful computers, but there are many challenges to overcome. Dr. Rotem Arnon-Friedman's research may hold the key.

Cancer researchers are just beginning to unravel the interplay between the individual cells of a tumor, the immune system, and the “normal” cells that surround tumors, which comprise what’s known as their microenvironment.

Dr. Eliran Subag is advancing probability theory, particularly Gaussian fields—a model of random functions whose probabilistic character makes them useful for applications in physics, computer science, and medical imaging.

As climate change continues to transform the face of the planet, understanding the role of the oceans in Earth’s habitability becomes more and more crucial. 

Dr. Leeat Keren studies how interactions among cancer cells, healthy cells, and immune cells drive the progression of different cancers and affect their responses to treatment.
