Biography

Dr. Porat-Shliom received her B.Sc. in biology, M.Sc. in neurobiology, and Ph.D. in cell biology from Tel Aviv University, Israel. Her Ph.D. research was performed at the NIH through the Graduate Partnerships Program under Prof. Yoel Kloog (Tel Aviv University) and Dr. Julie Donaldson (NHLBI, NIH). For her postdoctoral training, Dr. Porat-Shliom joined the laboratory of Dr. Roberto Weigert (NCI, NIH), where she specialized in intravital microscopy, studying mitochondria in the salivary gland for which she received the NIH Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00). In 2018, Dr. Porat-Shliom joined as a Tenure Track Investigator. Dr. Porat-Shliom serves on the editorial board of Cancer Prevention Research and participates in career development workshops to help guide the next generation of scientists.
