My project in the Roux Lab focuses on membrane tension propagation. I aim to understand how tension spreads across the plasma membrane and how this mechanical signal helps coordinate cellular processes. To explore this, I use various methods to control and measure membrane tension, including micropipette aspiration, osmotic perturbations, membrane tether pulling, and tension-sensitive fluorescent dyes. 

I completed my PhD at the School of Chemistry at Tel Aviv University, where I studied the role of tetraspanin proteins in membrane remodelling, with a focus on their involvement in migrasome formation.
