Tal Iram
Dr. Iram studies the aging brain cerebrospinal fluid, and specifically how cerebrospinal fluid transfusions from young mice might reverse aging-related phenotypes in old mice.
Dr. Iram completed her PhD studies in neuroscience in the Sagol School of Neuroscience in Tel Aviv University. Her PhD, which was a joint project between Dr. Dan Frenkel in Tel Aviv University and Dr. Joseph El Khoury in Harvard Medical School, uncovered new mechanisms to clear debris from the brain in Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Iram completed a post-doctorate fellowship in the lab of Prof. Tony Wyss-Coray in the Department of Neurology where she studied the aging brain cerebrospinal fluid, and specifically how cerebrospinal fluid transfusions from young mice might reverse aging-related phenotypes in old mice. She collaborated with the lab of Dr. Sergiu Pasca in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences to study the effects of cerebrospinal fluid proteins on human brain organoid development, and with the lab of Dr. Bradley Zuchero in the Department of Neurosurgery to study the effects of aging on oligodendrocytes and myelin in the mouse brain. Following her postdoc, she launched her own lab as a faculty member at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Tel Aviv.
