Inbar Freeman

PhD in Biotechnology Engineering with professional specialization in biomaterials, hydrogels and controlled delivery systems. Broad understanding and experience in chemistry, using quintessential analyses and methods as high resolution microscopy (TEM, Cryo-TEM, SEM and AFM) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Experienced with both pre-clinical (lab animals) and clinical studies (phase I-III). Working with CRO companies. Strong multidisciplinary outlook, which has resulted in several high-profile publications, awards and acclaims. Scientific merits are summarized in a book chapter, two articles and international patents. In addition, scientific work was presented in a number of national and international meetings. A preventative, highly-motivated, with independence of thought and action, person. A natural leader and a team worker.

Analysis: Spectroscopic characterizations, (FTIR, 13C & 1H NMR), Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), ELISA, Light microscopy, High resolution microscopy (AFM, TEM, SEM, Cryo-TEM), Circular Dichroism (CD). Histology; histochemical staining and immunohystochemistry
