MBA, Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Management, Technion
Participated in the Technion Excellence Program: 1998 – 2001.
Limor first engaged in research during the second semester of her studies, in Physical Organic Chemistry in the laboratory of Prof. Yoav Eichen from the Faculty of Chemistry, in the field of Photoinduced proton-transfer (PT) processes.
In the summer following her second year at the Technion, she spent almost 3 months at MIT in Boston at a Cell Biology Laboratory, under the supervision of Prof. Monty Krieger, Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts and in collaboration with the laboratory of Prof. Tomas Kirchhausen, Department of Cell Biology and Institute of Chemistry and Cell Biology, Harvard Medical School, Longwood, Massachusetts.
