In my lab, we study the neurobiological mechanisms responsible for abnormal social and anxiety-like behaviors in genetic neuropsychiatric disorders such as Williams syndrome and autism. I did my postdoctoral advanced training with Prof. Guoping Feng at MIT, and my Ph.D. thesis on synaptic transmission in Prof. Uri Ashery’s laboratory at Tel Aviv University. I was involved in various research projects in University of California, Berkeley, NIH and more, and graduated in Biology with honors from Tel Aviv University.
