Dr. Or Shahar : Molecular Neurodynamics

Our interests include:

1. To elucidate molecular mechanisms of memory formation.To define molecular pathways of brain development in health and disease.
2. To better understand the mechanisms leading to neurodegeneration, focusing on genomic-instability-related disorders.
3. To reveal molecular networks affecting aging.

Our model systems include cell cultures and zebrafish which are well suited for our aims.

We use state of the art microscopy, cell-type-specific proteomics and sequencing combined with computational analysis.

Check out our recent publication in which we developed a transgenic zebrafish line allowing for the labeling of newly-synthesized-proteins in a cell-type-specific manner in neurons.

We are looking for enthusiastic graduate students, a lab technician and postdocs. If you are interested, please email Or Shahar.
