 Born in the old East (Romania), educated in Israel (BSc in Zoology and MSc in Entomology at Tel Aviv University), and the UK (PhD in Zoology at the University of Bristol).
As a research in vitro toxicologist in Ophthalmology I focussed on the human ocular surface and detection of low toxic effects. To represent the salient features of the target tissue, constructs have evolved from primary cell monolayers, intact and wounded, to 3D cultures including a number of cell types. I am also keen to include endpoints that reflect intercellular communication, additional to cell survival and proliferation. My other research interest is the tear film and ocular surface physiology, and especially the role of mucins in health and disease.
