ABSTRACT
Hermona Soreq holds a Hebrew University Slesinger Chair in Molecular Neuroscience and is among the founding members of the Edmond and Lily Safra Center of Brain Sciences (ELSC). Soreq's research (H-impact 98) focuses on acetylcholine (ACh)-related pathways and combines RNA-sequencing technologies, transgenic engineering, and molecular biology tests with in-depth analysis approaches. Her work addresses microRNAs (miRs) and transfer RNA fragments (tRFs) which have rapidly acquired wide recognition as global controllers of regulatory processes in healthy and diseased brain and body, including anxiety, inflammation, and cognition. Altogether, Soreq's work leads to molecular neuroscience-driven prevention and/or intervention with diseases involving impaired ACh signaling, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, Alzheimer's disease, and stress. Hermona led this Special Issue based on the 17th Symposium on Cholinergic Mechanisms (ISCM2022). We interviewed her on the progress in the field, what she wants to achieve as Senior Editor for the Gene Regulation and Genetics category at the Journal of Neurochemistry, key moments, and future directions.
