Speech Title: What is important in medical engineering? Abstract: Medical engineers have good skills. They can write software, develop microprocessor solutions, build electronic and mechanical prototypes, and create final clinical devices. There is much that they do that is creative, and for which they are rightly proud. More... |

A council member of the International Society of Neurochemistry (2017-2019), Soreq is the president of the International organization for cholinergic mechanisms (2010-). She is the author of over 275 publications, including 54 published in Science, Nature, PNAS and other high-impact journals, with H-index of 82. |
| Speech Title: Exploring non-coding RNA regulators of acetylcholine functioning Abstract: The parasympathetic system coordinates multiple body functions by maintaining efficient and rapidly adgustable surveillance over acetylcholine (ACh) hydrolysis rates, but the molecular regulators of its brain-to-body messages are incompletely understood. Our studies are focused on the regulation of ACh functioning by non-coding RNAs, especially MicroRNAs (miRs), which have rapidly emerged as global controllers of gene expression. More... | |

Speech Title: Optical Coherence Tomography: A New Reliable Assistant To Dental And Sub-branch Practitioners Abstract: The evidence of dentistry in ancient practice can be dated back to Indus valley civilization. Centuries of modernization and new implementation methods have substantially improved its treatment efficacy. When it comes to medical practice, early and accurate diagnosis of a medical condition becomes a key factor for an effective and rapid treatment protocol. When it comes to dentistry and other branches of oral health treatments, conventional and newly implemented diagnostic techniques like visual inspection, cephalometric radiographs, cone-beam computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, has been widely relied on by medical practitioners to determine a treatment plan. These techniques though offer a high-level depth imaging capability, yet the imaging resolution is limited to few hundred micrometers to few millimeters. This, in turn, makes it difficult to accurately diagnose the disease progression. More... |
