RESEARCH SUMMARY

Dr. Porat-Shliom is a cell biologist specializing in advanced light microscopy techniques, with a particular focus on intravital microscopy. Her laboratory employs an integrative approach, combining molecular biology, biochemistry, and cutting-edge imaging methods to examine the fundamental principles of liver zonation. Ultimately, her research provides insights into the role of tissue-level compartmentalization in physiology and pathological conditions such as Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), and liver cancer.
