My name is Naama and I am a Ph.D student in Maya Schuldiner's lab at the Weizmann Institute.
During the day I am investigating unknown protein functions in baker yeast. At night I like to drink beer that was made with baker yeast
Here are some of my publications to convince you that my love to yeast is mutual:
-Cnm1 mediates nucleus-mitochondria contact site formation in response to phospholipid levels
-New horizons in mitochondrial contact site research
Both projects will are focusing on how organelles (tiny organs inside our cells) communicate for the cell to function properly
But don't be mistaken! I am not just a yeast lover. I am a parent of a dog that I already discovered HIS main function- Sleeping.
