Lyora Aharonov

CEO at EMRIS Pharma, passionate about research, expert in applied research with 15+ years of experience in industrial and academic R&D, and 10 years in management. I hold a B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Biotechnology and Food Engineering from the Technion (Cum Laude). I am the author of 12 peer-reviewed publications, submitted several pending patents, and received a number of awards, including the Gutwirth Excellence Award for research students. During the last decade, I worked in several Biotech start-up companies engaged in the development of therapeutic treatments or diagnostic tools that can truly improve human health. I am also a proud member of the WE@Healthtech community, a program that aims to promote women managers to C-level executive positions throughout the Israeli ecosystem and build their skills for successful executive careers. Like every scientist, my dream is to see our ideas and research transform into a reality that will benefit people's lives every day.
