Yoni Haitin promoted to Associate Professor
Congratulations
Prof. Yoni Haitin, Ph.D., is a member of the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology and Sagol School of Neuroscience. After completing his Ph.D. studies at Tel Aviv University, he continued his postdoctoral training at the University of Washington, where he was awarded the Human Frontier Organization Long Term Postdoctoral Fellowship. Upon his return, Prof. Haitin established a structural-physiology research program at the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology at the Faculty of Medicine. Prof. Haitin served as the secretary of the Israeli Society for Physiology and Pharmacology and is on the editorial board of PLoS One. He headed the Joint Undergraduate Program for Life Sciences and Medicine and is currently the head of the M.Sc. program at The School of Graduate Studies of the Faculty of Medicine.
Prof. Haitin’s research focuses on studying ion channels and prenyltransferases, two types of radically different enzyme families crucial for the viability of numerous cell types. By utilizing cutting-edge biochemical and biophysical approaches, his lab delineates the structural mechanisms underlying the functional regulation of these key protein families.
