Prof. Orit Shefi is Featured on the Cover of Nashim Magazine - for her Scientific Accomplishments

Prof. Orit Shefi, of Bar-Ilan’s Alexander Kofkin Faculty of Engineering, is featured on the cover of new issue of Nashim (Women) Magazine in Israel. Prof. Shefi who is also a researcher at BIU’s Institute for Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials, was chosen as Nashim’s ‘cover girl’ thanks to her trailblazing research in regenerating damaged nerve cells. Prof. Shefi and her lab team have recently developed a gel-based component to the nerve system.  Based on that, they designed collagen hydrogel as 3D scaffolds for neuronal regeneration, and developed methods to control collagen matrix structure and collagen fiber orientation.
