    קורות חיים

    כרופא עיניים ובעל דוקטורט בביו-הנדסה. אני עוסק בפיתוחים טכנולוגיים בתחום מדעי הראייה, שצפויים לשפר את מצבם של חולים הסובלים ממחלות הגורמות לעיוורון.

    את לימודיי האקדמיים עשיתי כעתודאי בצה"ל. לאחר מכן שימשתי רופא גדודי, חטיבתי ואוגדתי ובין תפקידיי ניהלתי יחידת המחקר של חיל הרפואה.

    הייתי חלק מצוות גדול של חוקרים שפיתח רשתית מלאכותית, המאפשרת לאנשים שאיבדו את ראייתם כתוצאה מניוון מָקוּלָרי תלוי גיל או ממחלות אחרות, לשוב ולראות בעזרת שבב המושתל מתחת לרשתית הפגועה וקולט במקומה את התמונות. הניסוי שנעשה עד כה בבעלי חיים היה מוצלח ולאחרונה החלו ניסויים באנשים החולים במחלות ניוון של הרשתית.

    עוד טכנולוגיה שאני מפתח עושה שימוש בשתל רשתית חדשני המורכב מאלקטרודות ובנוירונים המיוצרים מתאי גזע. במחקר עוברים תאי הגזע תהליך התמיינות לנוירונים מסוג פוטורצפטורים, אשר מחוברים באמצעים מיוחדים לאלטקרודות זעירות. המטרה היא שהנוירונים המושתלים יקלטו ויתחברו לתאים שעדיין מתפקדים ברשתית החולה ויחזירו את הרגישות לאור ואת הראייה. מחקר זה ממומן על ידי האיחוד האירופי במענק מחקר יוקרתי.

    הצטרפתי לסגל בית הספר לאופטומטריה ומדעי הראייה בבר-אילן לאחר שהשלים פוסט-דוקטורט באוניברסיטת סטנפורד שבארה"ב.

    מחקר
     

    The Ophthalmic Science and Engineering Lab is focused on basic and translational research in ophthalmology and visual neuroscience. Of main research interests are the field of electro-cellular interfaces, optical and electronic microdevices development, and applied science for improving diagnosis, treatment and prevention of various ophthalmic diseases. One of the central themes is the artificial introduction of the visual information and its processing by the retina and the visual cortex. We further study learning and plasticity processes in the visual system in animals. Other projects include electrocellular interface with the autonomic system and application of high electrical field for solid tumor ablation (IRE - Irreversible Electroporation).
