I am an MSc student in Prof. Yaniv Elkouby’s lab at the Department of Developmental Biology and Cancer Research at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. My research focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying oocyte development, with particular emphasis on identifying novel regulators of Balbiani Body formation and characterizing centrosome behavior during oogenesis. Using zebrafish as a model system, I take part in ongoing projects building upon the work of Swastik Kar and Karine Levy, aiming to understand how cytoskeletal organization and organelle dynamics contribute to oocyte polarity and early developmental competence.
