Excited to share that two Technion PIs were awarded an ERC Advanced Grant! Congratulations to Prof. Jackie Schiller and Prof. Michael Glickman, Technion, for winning the prestigious ERC Advanced Grant, awarded to outstanding PIs by the European Commission. It was a special pleasure working with them on these inspiring and exciting grants, since both were close to heart - they were both in the field of neuroscience. I enjoyed working with both PIs starting from the discussion of the idea, providing feedback on the drafts, and then helping them prepare for the interview. Prof. Schiller's grant, "Dendrite assemblies as the core cortical computation module for continual motor learning," proposes a new hypothesis for how new memories avoid running over older ones, focusing on motor learning. This research has implications for better mechanistic understanding of memory in health and disease, such as Parkinson's disease, as well as AI. Prof. Glickman's grant, "The origin and impact of impaired ubiquitin signaling in the degeneration of neurons," proposes a new hypothesis where ubiquitin malfunction plays a causal role in Alzheimer's disease. This research has implications for better mechanistic understanding of Alzheimer's disease and its causes, and identifying novel therapeutic targets. Both projects are groundbreaking and ambitious – well deserved! Michael Glickman Jackie Schiller
Congratulations to Prof. Jackie Schiller and Prof. Michael Glickman - Awarded ERC Advanced Grants Prestigious grants from the European Commission’s Horizon Europe program were awarded to two experienced Technion researchers with outstanding achievements in research over the past decade. Each of them will receive €2.5 million. https://lnkd.in/gFkAzcJi Jackie Schiller Faculty of Medicine Technion Michael Glickman Faculty of Biology at Technion - Israel Institute of Technology #Horizoneuropeprogram #Parkinsons #Alzheimers

Herman Branson stands as a towering figure in the realm of STEM, renowned for his pioneering contributions to molecular biology and biophysics. As an esteemed physicist and biophysicist, Branson made significant strides in understanding the structure and function of proteins, laying the groundwork for advancements in biochemistry and medical research. His groundbreaking work on the properties of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying molecule in blood, provided critical insights into the mechanisms of oxygen transport within the body. Moreover, Branson's dedication to education and mentorship paved the way for countless aspiring scientists, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds. His commitment to diversity and inclusion in STEM fields continues to inspire future generations of researchers and underscores the importance of equitable access to scientific opportunities. Through his visionary leadership and transformative contributions, Herman Branson has left an enduring legacy that resonates across disciplines, shaping the landscape of scientific inquiry and innovation for years to come. #STEMResearch #MolecularBiology #Biophysics #Biochemistry #MedicalResearch #DiversityInSTEM #ScientificInnovation #HermanBransonLegacy #UnderrepresentedScientists #EquitableOpportunities

February 11th marks the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Let’s celebrate the diverse and impactful contributions of women in science and medicine! From Marie Curie's groundbreaking work in radioactivity to Chien-Shiung Wu's pioneering research in nuclear physics, women have left an indelible mark on scientific progress. Let's also honor Alice Ball, whose research led to the first effective treatment for leprosy, and Barbara McClintock, whose discoveries in genetics revolutionized our understanding of genetic inheritance. And let’s not forget in recent years the groundbreaking work of Jennifer Doudna, whose co-discovery of CRISPR-Cas9 has revolutionized genetic research and holds promise for treating genetic diseases. As women continue to lead in science, they have inspired me and countless others to push boundaries and find ways to make meaningful impact in our scientific fields. #WomenInScience #STEM #Innovation #diversityandinclusion

🔬 Professor Vesa Hytönen wants to know how things work. He says he is a white-collar biologist who would most likely be fixing electronic devices if he wasn't doing his current job. As a researcher, he wants to understand how cells communicate. His field of research is called mechanobiology, which is a new and rapidly evolving field of science. Once we learn and understand how cells interact with their environment, it can lead to new insights, for example in cancer treatment. Hytönen is inspired by phenomena and other people. For him, being a researcher is a social profession. Colleagues describe him as an innovative and helpful team player who creates a positive atmosphere and is bursting with excellent ideas. #mechanobiology #mechanosignalling #CellBiology #MolecularBiology

Congratulations to five Tel Aviv University researchers who won the European Research Council (ERC) Young Researchers grant yesterday. The prestigious grant is designed to enable young researchers to fulfill their research goals, promote fruitful collaborations, and assist in the first stages of technology commercialization. The winners are: Dr. Yaara Oren, a cancer researcher from the Department of Human Molecular Genetics & Biochemistry at the Faculty of Medicine. Dr. Oren's research investigates a rare population of cancer cells, known as persistent cells, which are able to evade the drugs without acquiring a genetic change. Dr. Oren hopes that the research being carried out in her laboratory will serve as a basis for the development of drugs that will kill this deadly cell population. Dr. Michael Gilad, from the School of Psychological Sciences, who studies cognitive processes and symbolic interaction. The purpose of his current research is to understand the information processing processes that cause people to represent social conventions as indisputable facts of nature, a phenomenon called "reification." Dr. Lior Zalmanson from the Tel Aviv University - Coller School of Management, who researches algorithmic management practices. His research helps build research knowledge on ethical management in an era of AI-based supervision and will contribute to shaping the future of work and ensuring that there is a balance between the human and computerized elements of the work environment. Dr. Roi Livni from the School of Electrical Engineering, whose research focuses on the theory of learning and in particular on the understanding of the generalization mechanism in learning systems. Dr. Or Perlman from the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Sagol School of Neuroscience, Tel Aviv University, a biomedical imaging researcher who focuses on the development of AI methods for the early diagnosis of diseases and their treatment monitoring. "Tel Aviv University is very proud of its researchers who stand at the forefront of global science and contribute to the development and advancement of research and the development of applied and commercialized technologies in a variety of different and diverse research fields. And we're happy to see that the University's researchers are receiving recognition for their hard work," said Prof. Dan Peer, TAU VP for Research & Development. #ERC #ERCgrant #youngresearchers Dan Peer #newresearch #telavivuniversity #grants #cancerresearch #airesearch

Cyrus Mody: Open Science’s critical figurehead Cyrus Mody credits his European Research Council-funded project “Nanobubbles: how, when and why does science fail to correct itself?” with his interest in Open Science. In the project, Mody and colleagues research systemic issues allowing erroneous claims to enter and stay in the scientific record. An example are paper mills, i.e. businesses publishing poor or fake journal papers for profit. An indicator that a publication has been produced by a paper mill are ‘tortured phrases’, mistranslated technical terms resulting from taking published papers and replacing as many words as possible with synonyms. Resulting gems range from ‘counterfeit consciousness’ instead of AI and ‘bosom peril’ instead of breast cancer. “I have seen some of the most egregious examples of creative academic misconduct and fraud…” Here Mody advocates for 'open science' as an answer to science in transition: https://lnkd.in/ee_W7qvJ #OpenScience #Research #MaastrichtUniversity OpenScience Open Science NL
