Congratulations to the Head of the Optical Imaging and Biosensing Laboratory, Prof. Amos Danielli, on receiving the Good Food Institute Israel (GFI) Research Grant for 2024 !!!
The grant supports collaborative research with Prof. Tamar Juven-Gershon, the Vice Dean for Teaching at Bar-Ilan University and a full professor in the Faculty of Life Sciences.
The research, titled “High-Level Expression and Detection of Chicken Growth Factors,” aims to engineer gene regulatory elements to enhance the production of specific growth factors and improve their detection in the growth medium. This innovative research seeks to address critical challenges in the meat industry and contribute to its advancement.
Congratulations to our electro-optics lab manager, Dr. Meir Cohen, on the birth of his first grandson !!!

Prof. Danielli specializes in Electro-optics and Bio-photonics. After completing his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in the field of optical communication at Tel Aviv University, he worked in industry for eight years and then return to the Academy. During his studies for P.hD, he developed a new technology to rapidly detect fluorescent-labeled probes at very low concentrations in homogenous solutions and continued developing it during his post-doctoral studies in Washington University, St. Louis.
In 2014, he has returned to Israel and joined the faculty of Engineering at Bar Ilan University.
During his stay in the US, he founded a company that commercializes this technology, and established connections with key figures in the fields of medical laboratory and diagnostics, and especially among troponin and heart attack specialists.
We are always happy to hear from postdocs and students at all levels (BSc., MSc. and PhD.) with various backgrounds (mathematics, engineering, physics, biology) who are interested by the kind of research we are doing. send an email to Amos.danielli2@gmail.com
