Dr. Hadar Ben-Yoav, Head of the Nanobioelectronics Laboratory (NBEL), has been awarded a NARSAD Young Investigator Grant by the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation. His research grant will focus on developing a finger-pricked blood test for the rapid detection of antipsychotic clozapine blood levels. Clozapine is currently the most effective medication for Schizophrenia, yet it is not used by most patients due to the burden of the treatment. Therefore, a rapid and easy test of clozapine blood levels at the physician office or at home, is dramatically needed.
Excellent and highly motivated student who are interested in pursuing an MSc or PhD research as part of this research are welcome to contact Dr. Hadar Ben-Yoav benyoav@bgu.ac.il
