Dror Ben Abba Amiel was born in Jerusalem, Israel in 1989. He received his B.Sc. in physics and chemistry from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2016 and later continued there to M.Sc. and Ph.D. in chemistry. His Ph.D. focuses on the automated synthesis of glycans and glycopeptides under the supervision of Dr. Mattan Hurevich.
Israel Alshanski was born in Kirov, Russia in 1988. He obtained B.Sc. in 2015 from the Jerusalem Collage of Engineering in pharmaceutical engineering. He pursues a Ph.D. in chemistry in the Hebrew University under the supervision of Dr. Mattan Hurevich and Prof. Shlomo Yitzchaik. His Ph.D. focuses on developing tools to synthesize complex glycans and modified peptides. He later studies their interaction with metal ions and proteins using electrochemical methods. His work includes process engineering of solid phase synthesis, developing tools for automated glycan and peptide assembly, surface modification and electrochemistry.
Dr. Mattan Hurevich grew up in Jerusalem and graduated in 2002 with a B.Sc. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He obtained a PhD in organic chemistry in 2009 from the Hebrew university of Jerusalem under the supervision of Prof. Chaim Gilon. From 2010 to 2013 he was Minerva postdoc fellow at the Max Planck institute of Colloids and Interfaces at the group of Prof. P.H. Seeberger. In 2014 he joined the Hebrew University as research fellow and since 2017 he is an assistant professor at the Institute of Chemistry. His main research interest is the developments new photochemical, solid phase and automated tools to synthesize complex oligosaccharides, glycopeptides phosphopeptides and other modifies biopolymer. These synthesis entities are later used as molecular probes to develop devices for the electrochemical detection of poisonous heavy metals, essential ions, protein interactions and enzymatic processes.
