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]
