Ph.D. Student
Yuval Graduated the Sagol School of Neuroscience and join our team as an M.Sc. student, but decided to pursue her Ph.D. directly. In her project, Yuval studies the role of onco-metabolites in promoting VHL-deficient pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. In her 1st publication on this topic Yuval analyzed single-cell TNA sequencing and metabolomics data to show the role of adenosine in promoting VHL-deficient pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors progression
