Introducing University of Haifa Fundraising Ambassadors
(l-r) Professors Sarit Larisch and Michal Biron.
Meet Professors Sarit Larisch and Michal Biron, members of the first cohort of the University of Haifa Partnership in Fundraising Program. The program was launched with the aim of improving faculty members’ communication skills in their fundraising efforts through seminars, and hands-on workshops.
Prof. Sarit Larisch‘s (Head of the Cell Death and Cancer Research Laboratory) joint research with Dr. Dalit Barkan aims to transform pre-cancer breast cells into healthy ones.
“Early detection and treatment of breast cancer is the key to recovery and healing. We identified small molecules that can return breast cancer cells in the early stages of the disease to their normal state. These molecules form the basis for the development of innovative drugs that will allow a non-invasive therapeutic alternative that will ‘reverse’ early-stage cancer cells to their normal state.” – Prof. Sarit Larisch | READ MORE
