Nader Tarabeih is a postdoctoral student in the Department of Morphological Sciences, Adelson School of Medicine, Ariel University, under the supervision of Professor Gregory Livshits. Their PhD research work was based fully on data collection, previously organized and conducted, which resulted in an extensive amount of data on >1000(!) individuals from complex Arab pedigrees living in the area of Sakhnin, comprising 98 nuclear families. The data included blood samples, comprehensive pain questionnaires, anthropometric measurements and bioimpedance assessments of body composition, measurements of the spinal scoliosis, 200 CT/MRI scans, and extensive clinical data relevant to the project. During their work on the PhD project, they learned techniques for the biochemical analysis of the circulating levels of various blood factors and, in collaboration with the staff of the lab, conducted ELISA assays of 15 cytokines and growth factors in the entire sample. In collaboration with other colleagues and as a leading scientist, they prepared and published five papers in professional journals in the field. They presented the results of these studies at two international conferences, one in London and one in Sefad.
