| 21 | Perseverance Through Challenges This year, Yadid’s research journey faced unique obstacles. During an October family vacation abroad, Yadid found herself and her family unexpectedly delayed, eventually making the choice to wait at the airport for any available flight back to Israel. "I decided to just go to the airport and wait until we could find a flight home,” she recalls. "One of the main focuses of my lab is understanding how vascular tissues—the blood vessels—serve as the common link between different organs and facilitate communication among them. All blood vessels are interconnected." With disruptions affecting every aspect of life, she and her team worked to maintain stability. “At first, I told my students to stay out of the lab,” she explains. “But after days of reading the news and feeling stressed at home, I returned to the lab and encouraged my students to resume their work as well.” Yadid underscores the importance of routine and the dedication her team has shown despite challenges As schools and childcare centers closed again in September, Yadid noted that lab member Benjamin Rosenzweig has been particularly instrumental in keeping lab operations on track. “Benjamin took it upon himself to keep things running, during the first days of the aggravation, then followed by the rest of the team. It is truly amazing, that Michal, my lab manager cames to the lab everyday despite having a baby at home, and that all the lab members are so supportive to each other” she says. The determination and resilience her team has shown drives their research forward, even under difficult circumstances. A Promising Future for Science and Health ״By integrating cutting-edge technologies like organson-chips and the study of extracellular vesicles, she is enhancing our ability to understand diseases and pioneering potential therapies that could revolutionize medicine.״ Moran Yadid’s journey illustrates the power of persistence and innovation in science, even when faced with personal and national crises. Her work in nanotechnology, biology, and cardiovascular research is opening new frontiers in our understanding of human health. By integrating cutting-edge technologies like organs-on-chips and the study of extracellular vesicles, she is enhancing our ability to understand diseases and pioneering potential therapies that could revolutionize medicine. In the face of adversity, Yadid and her team show that science, like the human spirit, can endure and thrive under the most challenging circumstances.
