Congratulations to our M.Sc. student, Eliana (Ellie) Levy, on the publication of her paper in "Biosensors".
Ms. Levy's work presents a rapid and ultra-sensitive optical modulation biosensing (OMB) assay for detecting ricin in a range of biological samples, demonstrating low detection limits and high-throughput capabilities ideal for applications in toxicology and bioterrorism response.
The paper, titled "Rapid and Highly Sensitive Detection of Ricin in Biological Fluids Using Optical Modulation Biosensing," is available in the Publications section and at DOI: 10.3390/bios15050295.
During his visit to the United States, Prof. Amos Danielli traveled to the University of Houston, where he was hosted by Prof. Wei-Chuan Shih from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Prof. Shih’s research focuses on nanobiophotonics, including surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), optical imaging, and portable biosensing technologies for biomedical applications. Prof. Danielli gave a lecture to local students, presenting recent advancements in biosensing from our laboratory. He later met with Prof. Shih to explore potential opportunities for future research collaboration.

An article in the Faculty of Engineering newsletter at Bar-Ilan University covered the First Annual Conference of the Israeli Society for Chemical and Biological Sensing (ISBCS). The conference, initiated by the society’s founders, including Prof. Amos Danielli, brought together leading researchers in the field of biomedicine. Attendees had the opportunity to explore ongoing research at the Optical Imaging and Biosensing Laboratory, led by Prof. Danielli. This research was presented through three posters by the lab manager, Dr. Linoy Golani-Zaidie, and PhD students Shmuel Burg and Sophie Terenteva.

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
