We are a new lab located at the Schulich Faculty of Chemistry, the Technion. We aim to develop new Chemical Biology tools for biomedical research.
We explore using genetically encoded photocatalysts to conduct chemical reactions in living systems. Based on our unique ‘in vivo photochemistry’ approach, we design innovative tools for investigating various biological phenomena.
We recently developed LITag , which relies on genetically encoded photocatalysts to study protein-protein interactions in living cells; that’s only the beginning!
We are also interested in developing and applying Chemical Biology tools for studying chromatin and epigenetics. Stay tuned!
Research in the Hananya lab is multidisciplinary and involves organic synthesis, protein engineering and semi-synthesis, molecular biology, and quantitative proteomics. We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and welcome researchers from all backgrounds.
