Dr Myriam Grunewald is a research group leader and teacher at the Faculty of Medicine of the Hebrew University and is the co-founder and Director of the Organoid Center at the Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, Israel. Myriam has earned her PhD in Structural Biology in 2003. She was then trained as a Vascular Biologist in the lab of Prof. Eli Keshet with whom she continues to work closely, deciphering how blood vessels are contributing to health and disease. Her research currently focuses on the role of the vasculature in adult stem cells maintenance in the hematopoietic system and how endothelial cells drive organ regeneration following injury, for example in the liver. Recently, Myriam has become interested in the biology of aging which she explores through the lens of the microvasculature. Her most recent contribution to this field places aging of the microvasculature as a high driver of organismal aging.
