Shlomit Kenigsberg's Biography

Shlomit Kenigsberg, Senior Researcher, Create Fertility Centre

I am currently a senior researcher and lead for the Ovarian Biology Research group at CReATe Fertility Centre. My research is primarily focused on the isolation and characterizing of exosomes that are secreted from granulosa cells (GLCs) into follicular fluid (FF), and to study their unique RNAs (miRNome) and protein (Proteome) content. We plan to look for differences in exosomes content between different fertility-related patient groups. My long term goals are to 1) provide serum-based biomarkers to help asses a patient’s fertility potential and diagnosis, and 2) to discover potential FF biomarkers to assess egg quality and potential to create a healthy embryo.
