Professor Martin Yarmush and Professor Anat Herskovits of Tel Aviv University have received a $60,000 grant from the US - Israel Binational Science Foundation for their proposal entitled, "Live Inflammatory Responses to L. monocytogenes". The goal of the project is to apply a novel high throughput living cell array system to characterize activation mechanisms of innate immune signaling pathways by L. monocytogenes. The U.S.-Israel Binational Science Foundation promotes scientific relations between the U.S. and Israel by supporting collaborative research projects in a wide area of basic and applied scientific fields, for peaceful and non-profit purposes.
