During her early career Rina specialized in molecular aspects of retroviruses. Following completing her postdoctoral studies at the MRC -LMB, with Dr Marianne Bienz, Cambridge, she returned to the Tel-Aviv University. Prof. Arbesfeld’s laboratory has a longstanding interest in the molecular events that lead to the development and progression of Colorectal Cancer (CRC) one of the leading causes of cancer related morbidity and mortality.
