Congratulations to Raphael Isaac Ben Hamou from the School of Chemistry for winning the prestigious Fulbright Post-doctoral Fellowship
Raphael is a PhD student in the Department of Organic Chemistry, in Prof. Micha Fridman’s research group
Raphael was awarded a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellowship to pursue his research titled “Rational Design of Small Molecules Targeting RNA”, under the supervision of Prof. Matthew D. Disney at the SCRIPPS Research Institute. In Prof. Fridman’s group, he focused his Ph.D. research on the development of new antibacterial and antifungal compounds targeting the microbial membrane and of novel fluorescent molecular tools to be used as probes to study the mechanism of antifungal drugs.
