Leading the SafeWax project is both a responsibility and a privilege. It was truly exciting to meet all the SafeWax partners and discuss the project’s progress in Bologna. Together, we were fortunate to participate in the field trials at the University of Bologna (Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna) experimental fields and see SafeWax in action. This lab-to-field transition marks a significant milestone as SafeWax. The experiments are ongoing, and we are now testing the long-term efficacy of SafeWax on grapevines. Many thanks to the University of Bologna (Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna) team for their dedication and excellent organization in making these trials possible!
Congratulations to our PhD student ,Daniela Dobrynin, for her excellent talk at the ongoing in E-MRS 2025 in Strasbourg, France!

Best Poster Award and 2nd Place Prize awarded to undergraduate project students from our lab! Huge congratulations to young researchers and their mentors!
Four posters and two talks! Our students presented their research on bio-inspired functional materials. A special moment was the talk by Dr. Arad Lang, our former PhD student and now a postdoc at Cambridge Uni, who shared his groundbreaking work. Proud of the whole team!
Yasmin Soltsman, our first graduate from the prestigious “Gvishim” Master’s program, delivered an exceptional seminar. A year of hard work and dedication pays off—congratulations, Yasmin!
Congratulations, Dr. Hadar Shaked, on the successful doctoral seminar that you presented to the faculty! We look forward to your continued success!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukka, and Happy New Year! Here’s to another year of scientific exploration and innovation together! Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a bright start to 2025 from all of us at @pokroy_lab!
