Metabolic syndrome diseases, including diabetes, have become a world-wide epidemic affecting millions throughout the world. Dysregulated whole-body energy homeostasis is a hallmark of the metabolic syndrome, and better understanding of the molecular pathways that become dysregulated during its progression can ultimately lead to the development of new and improved therapies. Our goal is to understand how changes in nutritional and hormonal cues control basic metabolic pathways to modulate whole-body energy homeostasis.

Eitan Israeli.,Ed.D.
My teaching and research activities focus on the psycho-social aspects of human eating behaviors.
It deals with the contribution of the Social and Behavioral Sciences to the acquisition and maintenance of proper eating habits - among individuals, families, small and large groups sharing common characteristics, such as:
Gender, ethnic origin, age group, developmentally delay.
An additional field of teaching & research is lifelong learning - in Israel and internationally
The third field of teaching is Teacher Education.

Prof. Ido Braslavsky is working on ways to freeze hearts, livers, and kidneys
“Perfecting cryopreservation – the process of preserving cells, tissues and organs in sub-zero temperatures – would enable long-term banking of tissues and organs and efficient matching between donor and patient, eventually saving lives of millions of people around the world,” said Braslavsky.
