ד"ר מיכל גולדנברג-שחר
Michal received her B.Sc in chemical engineering and M.Sc and Ph.D in Biotechnology Engineering from the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. Her M.Sc and Ph.D studies at Prof. Smadar Cohen's lab, focused on cardiac tissue engineering, exploiting and designing both biomaterials and bioreactors for the task. Currently, Michal is working on the development of in vitro tools and strategies to grow and mature ovarian primordial follicles for preserving women fertility, such as "smart" biomaterials and stimulating bioreactors. Under this research, Michal has mentored undergraduate students, one M.Sc student and is currently mentoring a Ph.D student (Both M.Sc and Ph.D students in collaboration with Prof. Cohen).
