The Team

Prof. Ayelet Lesman
Principal Investigator
Heading the Biomechanics of Living Cells Lab in the School for Mechanical Engineering, Tel Aviv University.

Dr. Oren Tchaicheeyan
Lab manager
Working on computational research such as DVC analysis, as well as experimental methodology such as rheometry and mechanical tests.

Shahar Goren
Ph.D Research Student
I am doing my Ph.D. in the faculty of chemistry, studying the nonlinear and anisotropic properties of fibrous biomaterials, incorporating simulations, experiments in optical tweezers and confocal microscopy.

Yoni Koren
Ph.D Research Student
During my Ph.D studies I investigate the mechanism of growth in plant roots, using Finite-Element modelling and live experiments, accounting for the roots mechanosensing abilities to detect obstacles and grow efficiently in the soil.

Nurit Bar-Shai
Ph.D Research Student
Ph.D student, in collaboration with the Golberg environmental engineering lab. My research looks into polysaccharides derived from seaweeds, to grow mammalian cells for tissue culture engineering technologies.
