3 Welcome The center of excellence for motor research funded by the Israeli Science foundation.

4 Ofra Spira Since 1992 in the ISF (coordinator of programs in Medical and life sciences) Since 2000 - ISF director. PhD in medical sciences, Twenty six years of scientific work in the medical school of the Hebrew University. Studied history arts, engaged in dance and Folklore, active in voluntary missions, in particular Diaspora- Israel rations ד"ר עופרה ספירא בקרן הלאומית למדע מ-1992 מרכזת תחום מדעי החיים והרפואה מאז שנת 2000 הייתה מנהלת הקרן. דוקטורט במדעי הרפואה, מדענית במחלקה לרפואה ניסויית וחקר הסרטן בביה"ס לרפואה, במשך עשרים ושש שנים. למדה בחוג לתולדות האמנות של האוניברסיטה העברית בירושלים. עסקה בפעילות התנדבותית, בעיקר בתחום קשרי ישראל-תפוצות (ב"פורום הישראלי" ובפרויקט "שותפות 2000") והן בפעילות אמנותית, בעיקר בתחומי המחול והפולקלור.
