BIO
TAL SHAKED
MS.c STUDENT
Since childhood, I have been captivated by science and nature. Growing up in the open fields of the kibbutz where my family raised me, I was constantly drawn to understanding the world around me.
My early fascination was nurtured by my father, who would read me encyclopedias about astronomy and the age of the dinosaurs. From that moment, I knew that scientific exploration was my path.
Years later, I pursued my passion by enrolling in a specialized biotechnology program, where I conducted research on cancer. My work focused on studying the effects of various stress conditions on the expression levels of p53, a key tumor suppressor protein, and how these changes influence cellular behavior.
Following my military service as an intelligence officer in the Office of the Chief of Staff, I completed my B.Sc. in Life Sciences. Currently, my Master's research focuses on utilizing exosomes as drug delivery systems. Specifically, I am investigating the electroporation-based loading of anticancer agents into exosomes to evaluate their downstream effects on tumorigenesis. Through this work, I aim to contribute to the development of innovative therapeutic strategies in cancer research.
