Dr. Moran Yadid, a researcher and senior lecturer at the Bar-Ilan University Azrieli Faculty of Medicine won an award, together with her colleagues, for a prestigious research grant from the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology. The grant will support a study that will harness 3D biological printing to restore soft tissues in the mouth cavity, for head and neck cancer patients undergoing rehabilitation. It is a fruit of the collaboration between researchers from the Galilee Medical Center and the Bar-Ilan University Azrieli Faculty of Medicine.

How Medical Research Is Targeting Cancer at Its Viral Roots

Certain viruses are known to increase cancer risk, and one of the most notorious is Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). Linked to aggressive cancers like Primary Effusion Lymphoma, this virus has remained a challenge in cancer research. But a breakthrough in medical research by Prof. Meir Shamay and his team at Bar-Ilan University’s Azrieli Faculty of Medicine may offer a new way to stop it in its tracks.
