  1. The Goldyne Savad Institute of Gene and Cell Therapy

 

We are looking into ways to help the academy in Ukraine at this very severe period. To facilitate this and to convert this into an active and a real supportive measure, we offer to recruit/absorb post-graduate students, in particular PhD students or postdocs who are in the field of liver disease, and whose investigations stopped now.

 

Our team is investigating liver inflammation and cancer, including regulatory roles of microRNAs in these processes.

 

We are inviting students who had to stop their studies currently as a consequence of the war. We would offer a stipend, cover travel expenses and whatever is needed to continue their studies. Knowing English for better communication is preferable.

 

You may contact either me, or the head of our research group, prof. Eithan Galun.
