Welcome to Dr. Shoshana Ginsburg, new Zuckerman postdoctoral scholar at Prof. Maya Davidovich-Pinhas’s lab at Technion’s Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Engineering

Shoshana Ginsburg thrives on discovering how molecules interact and give rise to new products. For her PhD in Food Science & Technology at The Ohio State University, she explored lipid chemistry through chemical reactions, analyzing the chemical and physiochemical properties of the products. Specifically, she used different catalysts to perform transesterification on various oils, investigating how the resulting lipids affected the oils’ crystallization.
