Welcome to The Alexander Silberman Institute of Life Science

Welcome to the Institute of Life Sciences


Biological research is vital to the advancement of many areas of life – medicine, agriculture, environment, industry, education, public policy and contributes to the welfare of human society.
We at the Institute of Life Sciences are partners in this effort (read about our Research Groups) and stand at the forefront of world research (see Prizes & Honors as well as Research Innovations).
Our scientific work combines basic research with practical aspects. Our research deals with a variety of processes and mechanisms, while integrating and linking the various organizational levels in the animal and plant world (see the Dissertation Topics we offer you).
Our close proximity to leading researchers in chemistry, physics, earth sciences, mathematics and computer science enables us to create unique and innovative interdisciplinary collaborations and to offer you a variety of Study Programs.
We will introduce you to the intellectual challenges and creativity in the field of life sciences and expose you to critical and creative thinking, thus preparing you for the variety of Employment Opportunities of the 21st century.

Illustration
Can individual neurons perform several calculations in parallel?

Neurons typically form elaborate tree-like branches with two functional sites (Figure a).

Model
Prof. Eran Meshorer - how does mRNA degradation affect differentiation processes of embryonic stem cells?
Graduate students Naomi Van Vijk & Keren Zohar
Prof. Michal Linial - Spatial and Temporal Regulation of miRNAs
PhD students Bayan Mashahreh & Shir Armony
Prof. Tommer Ravid - how is the expiration date of the proteins in our body determined?

Effective proteome homeostasis is key to cellular and organismal survival, and cells therefore contain efficient quality control systems to monitor
