Technion Professor Receives STEM Grant from Johnson & Johnson<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In a ceremony held in New Jersey last week, Professor Naama Geva-Zatorsky, of the Technion\u2019s Rappaport Faculty of Medicine, has been named a winner of the Johnson & Johnson Women in STEM2<\/sup>D (WiSTEM2<\/sup>D) Scholars Award. She is the first researcher from outside the United States to be selected for the honor, and one of just six winners selected this year from more than 400 qualified applications.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professor Naama Geva-Zatorsky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Prof. Geva-Zatorsky was selected for her research about how the billions of bacteria teeming in our intestines interact with the body\u2019s immune system. These bacteria were previously invisible to researchers, but Geva-Zatorsky has developed a tool that labels them with fluorescent markers. Now that she can see them in action in their natural environment, she\u2019s one step closer to discovering the signaling process between the bacteria and immune systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am interested in understanding the mechanisms,\u201d said Prof. Geva-Zatorsky. \u201cHow do the microbes regulate certain immune cells, and which molecules are important for this interaction?\u201d Once she and her team discover the answers, they may be able to develop more precise treatments for chronic conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, targeted to people\u2019s individual gut bacteria.<\/p>\n

Launched in June 2017, the Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM2<\/sup>D Scholars Award aims to fuel development of female STEM2<\/sup>D leaders and feed the STEM2<\/sup>D talent pipeline by awarding and sponsoring women at critical points in their careers, in each of the STEM2<\/sup>D disciplines: Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Manufacturing, and Design.<\/p>\n

“Through this Award and other programs, Johnson & Johnson is hoping to increase the participation of women in STEM2<\/sup>D fields worldwide,” said Cat Oyler, Vice President, Global Public Health, Tuberculosis, Johnson & Johnson and WiSTEM2<\/sup>D University Sponsor. \u201cWe want to nourish the development of women leaders building a larger pool of highly-trained, female researchers so that they can lead STEM2<\/sup>D breakthroughs in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
