Gal Raviv is a PhD student developing novel targeted drug-delivery systems under the supervision of Prof. David Margulies in the Department of Chemical and Structural Biology at the Weizmann Institute. She has a BSc as a Polymer Material Engineer from Shenkar College and an MSc in Molecular Biology from the Weizmann Institute of Science. 

In her PhD work, Gal operates at the interdisciplinary nexus of synthetic organic chemistry and biomedical sciences, focusing on the rational design of sophisticated drug delivery platforms. Most recently, she engineered carriers that effectively penetrate cellular barriers and facilitate the internalization of cell impermeable therapeutic agents into diverse cellular targets. 

Outside of the lab, Gal serves as the head of WISemom, a program dedicated to mentoring student moms in academia that focuses on maintaining a healthy work-life balance. The program provides invaluable support and guidance to student moms, fostering an inclusive and supportive environment that enables them to thrive both academically and personally.
