Daniella Goldfarb is an Israeli chemist who is the Erich Klieger Professorial Chair in Chemical Physics at the Weizmann Institute of Science. She is the President’s Advisor for Advancing Women in Science. Her research makes use of electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. She was awarded the 2016 Israel Chemical Society Excellence prize.

Early life and education

Goldfarb was born in Paris.[1] She was an undergraduate student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where she majored in chemistry.[2] She moved to the United States for her graduate studies, and earned a Master's degree at the University of Rhode Island in 1978.[3] After completing her graduate degree, she joined the laboratory of Zeev Luz at the Weizmann Institute of Science.[3] Her doctoral research made use of magnetic resonance imaging to study liquid crystalline phases.[4] She was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Houston.[2]

Research and career

In 1987, Goldfarb returned to the Weizmann Institute of Science, where she was made a scientist in the Department of Isotope Research. She was promoted to Professor in 1998.[5][3] Her research considers electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.[6] She has contributed to the understanding of protein structure and how proteins respond to drugs.[1]

In 2014, Goldfarb was appointed the Weizmann Institute of Science President’s Advisor for Advancing Women in Science.[1]
