Department of Clinical Biochemistry and Pharmacology

The Department of Biochemistry and Clinical Pharmacology is part of the School for Biomedical Research at the Faculty of Health Sciences at BGU. Our researchers drive multidisciplinary research that aims to develop and advance novel therapeutics in diverse fields of medical sciences. We foster a vibrant and highly collaborative environment, spanning basic to clinical biomedical research.

The research in the department is currently focused on:

  • Novel approaches for drug targeting and delivery
  • Mechanisms of tissue protection in inflammatory and infectious diseases
  • Computational systems biology
  • Cellular and visceral metabolism and bioenergetics
  • Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology
  • Neuroscience

The department integrates a wide spectrum of advanced methodological expertise, including innovative chemical synthesis, advanced chromatography, modern molecular biology techniques, single-cell and single nuclei RNA sequencing, high-resolution imaging, and in vivo disease models to support cutting-edge and translational research.

Could stem cell transplants save the world's corals?

01/01/0001
Climate change is bleaching and killing off vast amounts of the world's coral due to rising sea temperatures. Dr. Benyamin Rosental of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and his colleagues have proposed an out of the box potential solution – transplanting stem cells from resilient individuals to revive them.

2024 Retreat

23/09/2024
The School of Bio-Medical Research went on its annual retreat to Kibbutz Beit Kama. The retreat was a wonderful opportunity to meet colleagues and offered a unique blend of collaborative exploration. Nestled in a serene environment away from the usual distractions, our students and researchers immersed themselves in research sessions, workshops, and discussions that fostered creativity and innovation. The retreat atmosphere encouraged open dialogue, allowing researchers and students to share ideas and refine their projects. In the workshops, researchers shared their experiences with graduate students on how to employ soft skills and networking to advance their careers. Beyond the academic rigor, the retreat also provided valuable opportunities for networking and building lasting professional relationships, ultimately enriching both personal growth and collective knowledge in the research community.
