At the bioengineering track's academic and social gathering on September 5th, the academic staff and students were given a glimpse of some interesting works being done in our lab. Our M.Sc. students, Veronika Stavchansky and Eliana Levy, presented their research during the event.
We would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Prof. Amos Danielli, our principal investigator and head of the Optical Imaging and Biosensing Laboratory, on his new position as the Head of the Bioengineering track at the Faculty of Engineering at Bar Ilan University.
After visiting Okinawa, Prof. Amos Danielli continued his academic journey to Japan and went on to Tokyo. He was invited to lecture at the University of Tokyo, where he reviewed our laboratory's innovative technology. Before and after the lecture, he met with Prof. Tsuyoshi Minami and Dr. Yui Sasaki, who introduced to him their faculty members and students.
Later, Prof. Minami invited Prof. Danielli to a traditional Japanese-style dinner on a Yakata-bune, which is a classic restaurant located on a boat adorned with lanterns, cruising on the river around Asakusa.
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
