ERC Proof of Concept Dr. Nitzan Gonen

Congratulations to Dr. Nitzan Gonen on receiving the prestigious ERC Proof of Concept grant!

Dr. Gonen, from the Faculty of Life Sciences and the Institute of Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials at Bar-Ilan University, has been awarded €150,000 to advance her groundbreaking research in fertility restoration for adults who underwent chemotherapy as children.

In her lab, Dr. Gonen developed a system that mimics the structure of the testis and, together with her research team, created testicular organoids. These innovative findings pave the way for future fertility restoration using testicular biopsy samples taken before chemotherapy treatments.

This exceptional achievement highlights the transformative potential of her work, offering hope to countless individuals. Congratulations to Dr. Gonen and her team for this outstanding milestone! 🌟
