Daniella brings over ten years of experience in pharmaceutical API global marketing at Teva Pharmaceuticals. She also brings strong operational background in biobanking and clinical trials as the founding manager of Israel's first and only population-based research biobank "TIPA" within Israel’s healthcare insurer/provider Maccabi Healthcare Services.
Prof. Galun is a full professor at the Hebrew University, and was until recently the Director of the Gene and Cell Therapy Institute, which he established in 1998 at Hadassah Hebrew University Hospital. Beyond his rich clinical career and academic record, Prof. Galun was founder of a company that developed monoclonal antibodies to treat hepatitis B and C patients.
Recipient of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Prof. Roger D. Kornberg serves as the Winzer Professor of Medicine in the Department of Structural Biology at Stanford University. Prof. Kornberg’s award winning research centered on the process by which DNA is converted into RNA. He also discovered the basic subunit of chromatin, the nucleosome and its relation to transcriptional regulation.
