Our Faculty and Personnel

Principal Investigators & Staff

The Goldyne Savad Institute of Gene Therapy under the directorship of Prof. Eithan Galun, includes ten independent research groups, each directed by a Principal Investigator (P.I.). The laboratories are conducting in vitro and in vivo studies, including the development of animal models and the assessment of platform technologies in each and every project. Under each PI's name, you'll find a link on the research team involved including pictures, contact information & abstract of their research endeavors.
