Congratulation to @Zoharnon Zuckerman Israeli Postdoctoral Scholar (Alum) at Columbia University,  for joining the faculty in the Department of Biotechnology Engineering at @bengurionu University of the Negev. Dr. Arnon’sresearch spans programmed biological systems, DNA nanotechnology, and bioinspired materials. His appointment marks an exciting step in a multidisciplinary research career that bridges nanotechnology, biology, chemistry, and physics.

Congratulation to Zuckerman Israeli Postdoctoral Scholar Tal Gordon (alumna), for joining the faculty of @bengurionu University of the Negev, where she has opened a lab on the university’s Eilat campus. Her lab studies regeneration and wound response in marine invertebrates, with a focus on tunicates. Her new research program builds on her broader work in marine regeneration and aims to uncover fundamental mechanisms that shape how animals repair and rebuild tissues after injury.

Congratulations to Zuckerman Israeli Postdoctoral Scholar Hila Glanz on being awarded the International Astronomical Union’s (IAU) PhD Prize. The annual award recognizes outstanding scientific contributions and exceptional doctoral research by early-career astronomers around the world.  Dr. Glanz completed her PhD at @TechnionLive Israel Institute of Technology where she researched accretion, migration and explosions in stellar interactions.  She is currently conducting her postdoctoral research at @Caltech

Zuckerman Scholars Sweep 2026 Israel Science Foundation Grants! In a remarkable showing of excellence, 13 Scholars and alum have been awarded competitive grants including Personal Research and Biomedical Research Grants. We warmly congratulate the awardees and take great pride in the groundbreaking research they are advancing for the benefit of science and society. @AmiadDaria @BrombergYaron @LimorFreifeld @goldstein_lab @ItamarHarel @lobel_lior @AssafRamot , Pavel Sidorenko @ShaniSternLab Inbal Wortel, Adi Ashkenazi, @YosefKiat @RoeySchurr zuckermanstem.org/research-g…
