Prof. Dganit Danino earned her B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. in chemical engineering at the Technion and in 2002, following post-doctoral work at NIH in the U.S. she returned to the Technion as a senior member of the Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Engineering. Prof. Danino is an expert in electron microscopy at low temperatures (Cryo-EM) engaged in both the development, use and education of Cryo-EM methodologies. Her research is focused on mechanisms of self-assembly of soft materials and 1D structures, the development of delivery vehicles, milk proteins and structure-function of membrane shaping proteins and large GTPases. She published more than 170 papers and book chapters. Dganit was a visiting scholar at the Physics Department Harvard University, the Koch Institute MIT, and the KAVIL Institute for Theoretical Physics University of California Santa Barbara. She was the president of the Israel Society for Microscopy (ISM) between 2009 and 2013, and the President of the European Colloid and Interface Society (ECIS) in the years 2019-2021, and she is a Co-Editor-in-Chief in Current Opinion in Colloids and Interface Science (COCIS), and an Editor in Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces.
