VIVIANE SLON

Principal Investigator

I have always been interested in prehistoric times, when no written records exist to help us understand how people lived, thought and behaved. My goal in establishing the lab is to use ancient DNA data to shed light on prehistoric and proto-historic populations, while striving to understand the effect that past events still have on our own genomes today.

I have an MSc and a PhD in Microbiology, Immunology and Genetics. I have experience working in sterile clean room conditions in the pharmaceutical sphere, and am excited to apply my skills to the study of ancient DNA.

ITSIK DISHON

MSc student

I have a BSc in biology. Since my retirement, I have been working with orchids tissue-culture. For many years I have been interested in the place humans occupy on earth. Now I intend to broaden my knowledge in this field through the investigation of ancient human DNA.
