By deciphering the neuronal pathways mediating brain-immune signals, her work aims to harness the brain’s therapeutic potential.
She obtained her PhD from the Weizmann Institute, Israel and completed her postdoctoral training at the Psychiatry Department at Stanford University, CA, as a Fulbright Scholar.
