Scholar Profile
Einav Tayeb-Fligelman’s doctorate in the Department of Biology at Technion–Israel Institute of Technology focused on the structure-function relationships of functional amyloids and globular proteins, characterizing amyloid structure in various organisms and discovering a previously unknown cross-α amyloid architecture.
During a postdoc at UCLA, partly coinciding with the pandemic, Dr. Tayeb-Fligelman tied her work with COVID research, demonstrating amyloid fibril formation by a key viral replication protein and designing peptides to combat viral infectivity.
In her lab at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s Institute of Life Sciences, Dr. Tayeb-Fligelman uses advanced cryogenic electron microscopy techniques to investigate tauopathies, a class of neurodegenerative diseases that includes Alzheimer’s disease.
