One of the best things about Hadassah College is that the entire professional staff and faculty, especially head of the department, are accessible to students. It is very easy to contact and work with everyone in the college administration. The College is run at a very high level both professionally and academically. Anyone who completes their degree in biotechnology at Hadassah can be certain that their education has been extremely thorough and that they've gained more real, practical knowledge than do students at most other Israeli undergraduate programs in the field- the College puts a very strong emphasis on the practical side of academics, and students enjoy a lot of very important laboratory experience. Another important aspect of the Hadassah program is that it allows for on-the-ground connections with businesses and industry in the field. Having face-to-face conversations with people from industry and academia allow students at a relatively early stage to understand what is possible after graduation.

Today, in my work I explore a completely new and groundbreaking field- the identification of tumor cells by "natural killers" immune cells in the body. I work every day with the tools I acquired in my studies at Hadassah.
