Dr. Matan Yampolsky
Scientist · Stem-Cell Biology
Graduated summa cum laude in Molecular Biochemistry and completed a direct Ph.D. with distinction. An expert in stem-cell biology, skin physiology, and wound healing - particularly melanocyte and hair-follicle stem cells - with work published in high-impact journals.

Dr. Roi Ankawa
Scientist · Regenerative Medicine
Ph.D. in Stem-Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine from the Technion, focused on apoptotic cells as a dynamic niche governing tissue repair and wound-induced hair neogenesis. Published in Developmental Cell and Nature Communications.

Dr. Guy Mann
Scientist · Chemical Biology
Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the Technion, focused on live-cell chemical manipulation of synthetic peptides and proteins - developing methods to deliver synthetic proteins into living cells. He completed postdoctoral research at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research as an EMBO and Rothschild Fellow, selecting nanobodies against membrane proteins via genetic code expansion in human cells.

Dr. Ronen Weiss
Scientist · Computational Biology
At Elixrbio, Ronen leads an AI-driven computational platform for hair research, integrating biological data to identify the pathways behind graying and hair loss. He trained as a neuroscientist, with a Ph.D. from Tel Aviv University and postdoctoral work in antibody-based therapeutics. His career spans academia, biotech and pharma, and includes nearly 20 papers and patents.

Dr. Nimrod Krupnik
Scientist · Metabolomics
Ph.D. in Biology from the Technion, where he studied marine and terrestrial natural bioactive compounds using analytical chemistry and computational modeling. At Elixrbio, he identifies and characterizes bioactive compounds for hair and skin applications, integrating metabolomics with biological research.

Dr. Noah Joseph
Scientist · Molecular Immunology
Ph.D. in Molecular Immunology from Bar-Ilan University, with expertise in immune checkpoints, cytoskeletal dynamics, and protein signaling. At Elixrbio, she leads R&D on molecular mechanisms relevant to hair and skin; published in Science Signaling and the EMBO Journal.

Yana Svirskaya (Belnik)
Lab & Office Manager
M.Sc. in Biotechnology from Bar-Ilan University with a molecular-biology and microbiology background. She runs lab and office operations at Elixr - organization, equipment, training, safety, and SOPs.
