We congratulate Or Lazersko, Maya Ziv-Agam and Yulia Haim and the entire research team under the direction of Profs. Esti Yeger-Lotem and Assaf Rudich for their impressive work in the study and classification of fat cells.

Climate change is bleaching and killing off vast amounts of the world's coral due to rising sea temperatures. Dr. Benyamin Rosental of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and his colleagues have proposed an out of the box potential solution – transplanting stem cells from resilient individuals to revive them.

The School of Bio-Medical Research went on its annual retreat to Kibbutz Beit Kama. The retreat was a wonderful opportunity to meet colleagues and offered a unique blend of collaborative exploration. Nestled in a serene environment away from the usual distractions, our students and researchers immersed themselves in research sessions, workshops, and discussions that fostered creativity and innovation. The retreat atmosphere encouraged open dialogue, allowing researchers and students to share ideas and refine their projects. In the workshops, researchers shared their experiences with graduate students on how to employ soft skills and networking to advance their careers. Beyond the academic rigor, the retreat also provided valuable opportunities for networking and building lasting professional relationships, ultimately enriching both personal growth and collective knowledge in the research community.
