Rosh Hashana toast at the Lautenberg Center 🥂 We celebrated Prof. Chaim Brautbar’s 90th birthday — a pioneer in immunogenetics whose work transformed transplantation medicine!

We’re proud to share that groundbreaking research led by Prof. Michael Berger of the Lautenberg Center—previously published in Nature Communications—has now been featured in The Jerusalem Post!

Huge congratulations to our dear colleagues, Prof. Alexander Sigal and Prof. Carlos Caldas, on receiving the prestigious “Or” (אור) grant!

We’re excited to kick things off by celebrating the publication of research from our own Zahala Bar-On, Dr. Oded Shamir, Prof. Michael Berger, and team: 📄 β-Actin Deficiency in Baraitser-Winter Syndrome Type 1 Disrupts T-Cell Function and Immune Regulation
