Sivia Barnoy, RN, Ph.D.
Personal Statement
I began my academic studies in the nursing department of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and graduated at 1986 with distinction. After, I continued my studies for my M.Sc. in human Genetics at Tel-Aviv University and graduated at 1990 with distinction. Following I pursued my Ph.D. at the department of Human Genetics at Tel-Aviv University under the supervision of Prof. kosower and graduated at 1999. I continued with collaborative research with Prof. Kosower at the department of Human Genetics focusing on the Calpain-Calpastatin system involvement in Neuron development and in a model for Alzheimer’s disease. In parallel I joined the senior faculty of the Nursing Department at Tel-Aviv University. As a geneticist and a nurse my primary research focuses on the psycho-social aspect of genetics. In my studies I investigate issues like decision making for genetic testing, the nurses role in genetics, parents coping with a child harboring a genetic disease. Lately my research focuses on sharing genetic information with families from both the counselees and counselors’ perspectives. CASCADE As a scientist genetic nurse I have the experience and passion to bring my expertise in genetics and research into my research projects. I have professional experience in managing and analyzing large-scale research projects in different settings in both quantitative and qualitative designs. My research projects were funded by the Israeli Cancer Association, The Israel National Institute for Health Policy Research, the International Society for Nurses in Genetics, the Shalem Foundation and more. As a senior faculty member and researcher at the nursing department at Tel-Aviv University I have and am mentoring 43 students for their MA theses and Ph.D. dissertations. During my 4 years term as the head of the Nursing Department, I gained experience in human resources management and of managing a complicated setting where 1100 students study in 5 different programs. As a nurse I am proficient in managing health-related research, such as in the proposed study. I have many close ties with practitioners in the clinic from genetic clinics, health promotion and primary care, enabling me to remain up-to-date in these fields and to carry out research in these areas.
