Amit received his BSc from Hadassah College in Jerusalem, majoring in Biotechnology. He then came to Ariel University for his M.Sc studies, where he joined Prof. Firer's lab to research the possibility of isolating peptides that would inhibit the binding activity of anti-beta-2-glycoprotein 1 antibodies in an experimental system. This research was successful and results form the basis of this funding proposal. Currently, Amit is a doctoral student and a lab manager in another laboratory in Ariel University, but will return to carry out the work described in this proposal.
