Prof. Barak Segev
Dr. Barak’s research focuses on the psychobiology and neurobiology of alcoholism and drug addiction. In particular, he is interested in the molecular and neuronal mechanisms that underlie learning and memory processes in alcohol addiction. In addition, Dr. Barak is interested in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, with focus on cognitive impairments in this disorder. See lab […] Read More >
Prof. Ben-Baruch Adit
Breast cancer is a leading cause of death for women in the Western world. The battle against breast cancer has been challenged by the fact that, generally, each component is studied meticulously, but singly. Too little attention is paid to the interactions between the tumor cells and their intimate microenvironment, consisting of various cells and […] Read More >

Research Molecular Analysis of Cancer Immunoresistance The long-term goal of our research is to develop a novel treatment for immune resistant cancers. Our research includes characterization of the mechanism of complement-dependent cytotoxicity and of the basis for elevated resistance of cancer cells to cell death, and design of novel reagents that sensitize cancer cells to […] Read More >
Prof. Frenkel Dan
Research topic: The research in our laboratory is focused on the investigation of glial cell and to clarify their role in neurological diseases. We suggest that targeting glia activation in different pathological scenarios may allow us to define common pathways to further understand the role of glia in neuroprotection . We are using three models: 1) […] Read More >
Prof. Gabet Yankel
Genetics: Our laboratory focuses on the genetic and hormonal regulation of bone remodeling, microarchitecture and strength. These traits have a high degree of heritability, and one aspect of our research is to characterize new genetic determinants of bone remodeling as well as elucidate the mechanism of action of selected genes. Our GWAS confirmed the role of […] Read More >
Dr. Gil-Ad Irit
Prof. Joel Daphna
Prof. Joel studied the involvement of basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits in normal and abnormal behavior, using mainly animal models of psychopathology. More recently Prof. Joel has expanded her work to research questions related to brain, sex and gender. Ongoing studies attempt to characterize the relations between sex and brain structure and function. Other studies focus on […] Read More >
Dr. Leikin-Frenkel Alicia
Prof. Jonathan Leor
Professor Leor received an M.D. degree from Tel-Aviv University, continued training in cardiovascular medicine at the Sheba Medical Center, and completed his post doctorate training at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, under Robert A. Kloner, M.D., Ph.D. Today, his laboratory’s research focuses on infarct repair and the heart’s lack of intrinsic regenerative ability. […] Read More >
Prof. Michaelson Daniel
The research in the Michaelson laboratory is directed at unraveling the basic cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenration in Alzheimer’s disease and at the development of novel therapeutic approaches to counteract them. The research focuses on apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4), the most prevalent genetic risk factor of the disease ,and on it’s interaction with other risk […] Read More >

Animal models of Addiction and Psychopathologies
Our main focus is on the psychological and neurobiological mechanisms that underlie psychiatric disorders, and in particular addiction We are using rodent models of addiction, anxiety, learning and memory. We focus on behavioral models relevant to different stages of addiction (craving, drug reward, intoxication, sensitization, tolerance, excessive alcohol consumption, withdrawal symptoms, relapse). We are looking […] Read More >
MULTI SENSOR – Multi Modal Recording System for Behavioral Tracking
It is clear today that brain activity of a restrained (or sedated) animal is completely different from that of a freely behaving animal.That is why neuroscientists are seeking to find ways to study animals freely behaving on their natural grounds.TAU’s interdisciplinary research has led to the development of the MULTI SENSOR – Multi Modal Recording […] Read More >
analysis of mineralized tissues using microCT
The general purpose of my research is to describe the genetic and endocrine regulation of bone metabolism. To this end, we developed expertise in most aspects of bone research, from in vivo models, imaging of bone microarchitecture, in vitro cell cultures and molecular biology. Main Research Topics Regulation of bone metabolism by sex steroids Role […] Read More >
The Cohen Rosenthal Diabetic Hypertensive Rat (CRDH) model
The construction of the Cohen Rosenthal Diabetic Hypertensive Rat (CRDH) model was initiated nearly a decade ago by cross-breeding between the Cohen Diabetic rat (CDR) and the SHR. The CDR is a rodent model that expresses the following phenotypes: when fed regular diet, it is non-diabetic; when fed a diabetogenic diet, it invariably develops diabetes […] Read More >
Laboratory of Immunological and Inflammatory Modules in Malignancy
Research focusProf. Ben-Baruch is an immunologist who investigates the roles of immune and inflammatory elements in physiological and pathological conditions, with major emphasis on malignancy. The studies in her laboratory determine the complex regulatory networks established between chemokines and cytokines of the tumor microenvironment, intrinsic oncogenic modifications in tumor cells, and stroma cells. The research […] Read More >
Lab of Cancer Angiogenesis and Nanomedicine
Selective therapy remains a key issue for successful treatment in cancer therapy. Prolonged administration of effective concentrations of chemotherapeutic or anti-angiogenic agents is usually not possible because of dose-limiting systemic toxicities involving non-malignant tissues. Therefore, a constant effort has been the development of new drug delivery systems that mediate drug release selectively at the tumor […] Read More >

Guidance to discover the pathway to physiological and biochemical implications following overexpressed or suppressed gene linked to lipids.3. Counseling to analyze lipids in:• Simple molecules: fatty acids: Saturated, Monounsaturated n7, n9, Polyunsaturated: […] Read More >
Drug Screening Animal Model for Anti-compulsive Activity
We have developed the signal attenuation rat model of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This model is based on the theoretical proposition that compulsive behaviors result from a deficit in the feedback, which is associated with the performance of normal goal-directed responses. In our model, the goal-directed behavior is lever-pressing for food. The feedback associated with making […] Read More >
