Noga Ron-Harel is the head of the Immunometabolism and Aging Lab at the Technion. Her research group works on immune aging with a special focus on T lymphocytes, cells of the adaptive immune system that play a central role in the immune defense against intruders, mediate vaccination, and support tissue homeostasis and function. An aged or dysfunctional T cell immunity is sufficient to promote organ aging and multiple age-related morbidities. Research in the Ron-Harel lab investigates the other direction of this interaction, to define how the in vivo microenvironment in the aged host dictates T cells aging trajectories.
