Dr. Orna Bern
Teacher
I acquired my academic research training at Bar Ilan University in the Department of Molecular Biology.
The subject of my doctoral thesis was "Studies on the functioning of the p51 ferT and p94 fer kinases in cell lines".
During the research I experimented with a variety of methods in molecular
biology as well as in cryobiology.
Upon graduation, I joined the in vitro fertilization laboratory at the"Assaf Harofeh-Shamir" medical center and was the deputy director of the laboratory.
I presented papers at conferences and taught post graduated doctors at
Tel Aviv University and the Technion
Today I manage the fertility (sperm) and in vitro fertilization laboratories at the"Shaare Zedek medical center - Bikur Cholim campus" and also serve as a senior
embryologist at the Herzliya Medical Center (HMC).
In addition, I serve as the secretary of the "Israel Fertility Association (IFA)"
and a member of the Statutory Council for Medical Laboratories that advises
the Ministry of Health.

Dr. Racheli Wakshlak (Ph.D)
Teacher
Dr. Racheli Wakshlak obtained her PhD in Chemistry from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and specializes in materials science, particularly in ceramic and glass materials.
Her research focuses on the intersection of chemistry and materials science with the realms of craft, art, and design. According to Dr. Wakshlak, adopting an interdisciplinary approach allows for a more comprehensive understanding of processes and phenomena, leading to novel discoveries that may not emerge within individual disciplines.
In her current research, she explores the Implementation of advanced ceramic materials technology into traditional ceramics and glass production methods. Specifically, she is developing kiln-free glasses and glazes using the sol-gel technology, thereby expanding the range of colors and effects that can be achieved.
Her objective is to revolutionize traditional creative practices by introducing innovative solutions to address environmental challenges such as the climate crisis, energy scarcity, and the toxicity of metal colorants. These issues pose significant obstacles to traditional practices, necessitating adaptation and change within the artisanal and industrial sectors.Dr. Wakshlak is a lecturer of various courses at Jerusalem multidisciplinary College including Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, and of Ceramic and Glass Technology courses at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design.
