17 November 2017
On November 16, BioMed@TAU sponsored an event to welcome new TAU faculty members to the faculties of Medicine, Life Sciences, and Exact Sciences. After introductions by Prof. Joseph Klafter, President of TAU, and Prof. Yoav Henis, VP for Research and Development, each new TAU scientist gave a 10-minute introduction to their research.
Their presentations showed a diverse range of interests, from the neuronal basis for genetic epilepsy and autism to synthetic biology and lasers. The event helped bring attention to their work and officially welcomed them to TAU's network of esteemed researchers.
