Thanks to #Haaretz for covering our latest research showing convergence and divergence between #ASD and #SCZ haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

I’m excited to share our new article in Molecular Psychiatry, showing convergence and divergence patterns between #ASD and #schizophrenia . Great collaboration with Prof. Abu Akel and great work of my students, Eva Romanovsky and Dr. Ashwani Choudhary. nature.com/articles/s4138…

I have recently been promoted to associate professor with tenure in the neurobiology department at the university of Haifa. A big thanks to my supportive family and talented students.

I’m happy to share our new research regarding GBA1 related Parkinson’s disease is now published in NPJ Parkinson’s disease: nature.com/articles/s4153…

Super cool work that was led by Mor Sela and the @AviSchroeder team. A new tool for treating Parkinson: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

I am happy and excited to share that together with Dr. Libi Hertzberg and Dr. Aviv Segev from shalvata, we have received the Kamin grant from Israel Innovation authority to develop a platform from personalized medicine for schizophrenia patients.

Thanks to Haaretz and Ido Efrati for featuring two of our studies of neuropsychiatric disorders haaretz.co.il/health/2023-02… haaretz.co.il/health/2023-08…

I am happy to share our new study titled “Seeking Convergence and Divergence Between Autism and Schizophrenia Using Genomic Tools and Patients’ Neurons”, now on BioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am happy to share our research article just published in Molecular Psychiatry showing that lithium response is predictable quickly and affordably. Proud of my team and especially Liron Mizrahi and Dr. Ashwani Choudhary nature.com/articles/s4138…

Our new ASD research article is now published in Translational Psychiatry lnkd.in/eU8t-Hvi An expedited maturation is a shared phenotype of cortical neurons derived from patients with 4 autism related mutations. Proud of my students Yara Hussein and Utkarsh Tripathi.

Our new study using information theory to predict lithium response in bipolar disorder patients is now published in “Bipolar Disorders”. Proud of my student Utkarsh Tripathi . pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36479788/

Happy to share our new study- neurons derived from Parkinson’s patients with a double mutation- PINK1 & PARK2 genes have an opposite phenotype of all other PD related mutations: increased synaptic activity and upgraded extracellular matrix related genes biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our quantitative meta analytical review of GWAS and iPSC studies of Schizophrenia is now online. Very proud of my team, and especially my student Ashwani Choudhary!! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A great lab hike and barbecue at the Sea of Galilee with our special guest Prof. Martin Alda. It was a fantastic trip and a pleasure hosting Martin!!

I am happy to share our new preprint “Early maturation and hyperexcitability is a shared phenotype of cortical neurons derived from different ASD- causing mutations” led by my talented students Yara Hussein and Utkarsh Tripathi. Now on BioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Looking forward to a great event!!

Happy to share our new preprint. We performed a quantitative meta analysis of GWAS and iPSC studies of schizophrenia patients biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am happy to share our new preprint “Immunoglobulin genes expressed in lymphoblasts cell lines discern and predict lithium response in bipolar disorder patients” researchsquare.com/article/rs-196…

I am happy to share that our paper “Reduced synaptic activity and dysregulated extracellular matrix pathways in midbrain neurons from Parkinson’s disease patients” is now published in NPJ Parkinson’s disease. lnkd.in/ex7dZa9G

Great lab meeting at the Carmel beach today!!! stern & Moses labs
