Tel Aviv after the death of her father.

Chemistry (1962) and a master's degree in
Biochemistry (1964) from the

X-Ray Crystallography at the
Weizmann Institute of Science (1968). She has also accepted postdoctoral positions at the
Carnegie Mellon University (1969) and
MIT (1970).
In 1970 she established what was for nearly a decade the only protein crystallography laboratory in Israel. After returning from a
sabbatical year at the
University of Chicago, she headed a
Max-Planck Institute Research Unit in
Hamburg, Germany (1986 - 2004) in parallel to her research activities at the Weizmann Institute.
