Running Projects

Current solid tissue sampling methods for diagnostics mostly use tissue biopsy, which could lead to localized tissue injury, bleeding, and scarring. Tissue biopsy is followed by pathological examination of the sampled tissue and a decision based on that examination. Recently, we demonstrated novel technology for harvesting biomolecules in vivo based

The human eye can be described as an optical system; The eye focuses and processes incoming light through the lens and the retina . The pupil, an opening in the ring shaped iris, optimizes retinal illumination. Pupil size is modulated by two factors: by the level of ambient light, and

In this cross-campus proposal, we set out to develop a human-relevant in vitro platform for studying Parkinson’s disease (PD), and to use it for identifying PD-associated abnormal pathways using patient-specific differentiated cells. Over the first six months, we developed the computational, biological, and engineering infrastructure for tackling this goal, advancing

Rosenfeld Lab Department of Biomedical Engineering and Sagol School of Neuroscience Tel Aviv University   The adrenal glands produce different types of hormones, including the stress hormones cortisol and (nor)epinephrine. Imbalance of stress hormones is associated with mental health disorders and currently controlled via drugs, which suffer from limited temporal
