Sea Urchin Embryos Reveal Insights into Human Skeletal Development
Prof. Smadar Ben-Tabou de-Leon and her team from the Laboratory for Regulation and Evolution of Development (RED Lab) at the Department of Marine Biology have made a groundbreaking discovery, now published in the prestigious journal PNAS!
Exploring the Wonders of the Dead Sea: A Field Trip to Remember
Our recent field trip to the Dead Sea was an extraordinary journey into one of the world’s most fascinating landscapes!
Students from the Department of Marine Geosciences and the Maritime Strategy Program had the opportunity to explore the unique geology of this remarkable region. From the breathtaking salt formations to the intricate geological layers, participants uncovered the dynamic forces that have shaped this natural wonder over time.
Congratulations to Shir Sassoon for Winning the Outstanding Master’s Lecture Award!

Ultrasound performed on sandbar shark reveals advanced pregnancy stage in historic Israeli first
Researchers at the Morris Kahn Marine Research Station, part of the Charney School, have conducted Israel’s first-ever ultrasound examination on a sandbar shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus) and discovered that she is in an advanced stage of pregnancy. The examination was performed on a shark named “Romi” off the coast of Hadera as part of a long-term study on local shark populations.
