Dr. Erez Dror is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Developmental Biology and Cancer Research at the Institute for Medical Research Israel-Canada (IMRIC), Faculty of Medicine, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he leads the Dror Laboratory.
Erez has a long-lasting interest in the pancreatic islet — a subject that has fulfilled his scientific curiosity for years and continues to generate new questions. During his doctoral studies at the University of Basel, he investigated a novel physiological crosstalk between macrophages and insulin-producing β cells in the regulation of glucose homeostasis, work that recast inflammatory signaling as a participant in normal metabolic control rather than solely a driver of disease.
