Margarita Vigodner, Ph.D.

Our previous research work focused on the studies of spermatogenesis and the development of new methodologies using flow cytometry and confocal microscopy for monitoring germ cell progression and to distinguish between normal and abnormal spermatogenesis.

Current research project in my group focuses on the characterization of the role of novel small proteins known as SUMO (small-ubiquitin-related modifiers) in testicular cells, sperm, stress response in the testis and the development of the testicular cancer.
