Biography – Dr. Yael Mardor
Dr. Yael Mardor serves as Chief
Scientist and Head of the MR Research
Group at the Advanced Technology
Center at Sheba Medical Center and is a
senior lecturer at Tel-Aviv University
Medical School.
After completion of her PhD in Nuclear
Physics
at
Tel-Aviv
University
in
collaboration with Brookhaven National Lab in Long Island, Dr. Mardor has decided
to work in the field of applied medical research with an emphasis on cancer and
magnetic resonance imaging.
Dr. Mardor arrived at Sheba Medical Center nearly 11 years ago. During the years she
has performed research in various medical fields, including cancer research in vitro, in
vivo and in humans, cardiac research in animal models, gastric research in humans,
and brain research in animal models and humans. Throughout the years Dr. Mardor
has specialized in brain tumors, drug delivery into the central nervous system and
monitoring/predicting brain tumors response to treatment using MRI. Yael, together
with the interdisciplinary group of researchers she has formed, is working in parallel
in vitro, in vivo and clinically, in a research institute placed in the heart of a large
hospital. Yael collaborates closely with physicians from within the hospital or from
other hospitals, academia from Israel and abroad and the biomed industry from Israel
and abroad. The hospital setup, enabling pre-clinical and clinical research to be
performed in parallel as well as close access to physicians and their patients, together
with the close collaboration with the industry forms an optimal environment for
translational medical research which is the nature of most of Dr. Mardor's research
projects.
