Science burns in her bones
2010
Overview
Last November, [Smadar Cohen] received the $50,000 Teva Founders Award for her research on biomaterials to regenerate bodily tissue. Although Israel's Teva Pharmaceuticals usually awards two of these prizes annually, Cohen was the sole recipient for 2009. Cohen had heard about the work of MIT Prof. Robert Langer, who was researching the use of polymers in drug delivery. This was exactly what she wanted to do. But lacking an engineering background, which is normally required at MIT, Cohen knew she'd have to fight hard for a spot in Langer's lab. She wrote him letter after letter until he contacted her TAU advisor and said he was coming to Israel and wanted to interview the persistent student. Despite a total of almost a decade at MIT, Cohen says there was never any question that she would return to Israel. \"When I started to dream in English, I knew it was time to go home,\" she says. \"A few years ago, I got an offer from a US university and also one in England, and I said 'no.' I really love Israel and I love living here. And I am doing really well here.\"
