We’re proud to announce that Professor Haitham Amal, Associate Professor at The School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Head of the Laboratory of Neuromics, Cell Signaling, and Translational Medicine, is part of a $17 million grant consortium for groundbreaking autism research. This grant, awarded by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), supports cutting-edge studies aimed at advancing our understanding and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Professor Amal’s team has identified a crucial link between nitric oxide levels in the brain and autism, offering new insights that could revolutionize diagnostics and treatments. As the only lab outside the U.S. included in this initiative, his research will also investigate how environmental factors, such as air pollution, contribute to autism, paving the way for innovative solutions. In addition to his role at Hebrew University, Professor Amal is a Visiting Professor at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

The Internet of Tomorrow: New Wine in Old Bottles? A professional meeting of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem alumni in #London was held at the Forter offices in London led by Professor Michael Schapira from the School of Engineering and Computer Science, who spoke about the challenges of tomorrow's Internet. In a lively conversation, that lasted deep into the evening, the participants talked about server loads, using old technology in an era where speed, efficiency, competition and security are at the top of priorities, the challenges of the time synchronization issue, and other professional matters. Many thanks to Nir Maayan for the hospitality and Prof. Schapira for the fascinating conversation, we look forward to the next meeting!
