Dr. Ayelet Lesman’s research is at the interface between mechanics and biology. Her laboratory investigates the effect of mechanical forces on biological processes such as cell migration, organization and communication between cells. Particular emphasis is on the interaction of cells with nonlinear fibrous environments that mimic tissue conditions and on long-range mechanical interaction between cells mediated by fibrous environments.

Dr. Ayelet Lesman has acquired her education at the Technion where she earned her BSc in Materials Engineering and Chemistry, and her MSc and PhD in Biomedical Engineering. She conducted her post-doctoral research at the California Institute of Technology (Cal Tech) at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering in cooperation with Mechanical Engineering.

After a period of post-doctoral work at the Weizmann Institute in the Faculty of Biology, Dr. Lesman joined Tel Aviv University’s School of Mechanical Engineering as a Senior Lecturer.
