Daniel Ben Hur, a graduate of the 1st cohort of the Bina Innovation Fellowship program, partnered with Edo Kiper, a PhD student at Prof. Neta Regev-Rudzky lab, to develop an innovative #malaria treatment

Congratulations to Daniel Ben Hur, a graduate of our first cohort of the Bina Innovation Fellowship program, who partnered with Edo Kiper, a PhD student at Prof. Neta Regev-Rudzky lab, to develop an innovative malaria treatment using new synthetic peptides.
One of the persistent issues in current malaria treatment lies in the parasite’s ability to develop resistance to conventional drugs. In contrast, Ben-Hur and Kiper’s treatment relies on a different mode of action, which is expected to overcome the resistance challenge.
With the assistance and guidance of Merav Marom, Bina's LS Project manager, Ben-Hur and Kiper created a milestone-driven work plan that was presented and approved by Bina - Bridge Innovate Nurture Advance Nurture Program project committee.
We look forward to tracking the progress of this innovative malaria therapy and the effect that our alumni have on creating solutions that benefit humanity.
