Prof. Mouna Maroun (Former Head of the Sagol Department of Neurobiology) has been appointed Vice President and Dean of Research. Prof. Maroun holds many ‘firsts’ to her credit – a first-generation university graduate, the first woman from her hometown of Isfiya to earn a PhD, and the first Arab woman in Israel to hold a senior faculty position in the natural sciences. Her pioneering neuroscience research, exploring stress and fear responses, could pave the way for new treatments tailored exclusively for children and adolescents. Prof. Maroun succeeds Prof. Ido Itzhaki (Department of Evolutionary and Environmental Biology) who has held the position since 2017.
“We are delighted to welcome Professor Mouna Maroun to the University’s Leadership team. As a reflection of Israeli society, the University of Haifa prides itself on its diversity, uniqueness and the quality of its human capital.” – Rector Gur Alroey
