Рахель Галон (Рахель Галун, англ. Rachel Galun, ивр. רחל גלון) — израильский энтомолог, профессор отдела паразитологии медицинского факультета Еврейского университета в Иерусалиме.

Биография

Рахель Рабинович родилась 3 апреля 1926 года в Тель-Авиве в семье Иехуды Рабиновича, потомка Баала Шема Това.

Летом 1943 года поступила на учёбу в Еврейский университет в Иерусалиме. При этом 2 года жила в доме Хамды Бен-Иегуды, вдовы Элиэзера Бен-Иегуды, и была её секретарём. 2 года училась на биологическом факультете на горе Скопус, а затем отправилась учиться в области сельскохозяйственных исследований в Реховот.

В 1947 году получила степень магистра по сельскохозяйственной науке.

Во время учёбы в Еврейском университете познакомилась с Арье Галоном, и в мае 1948 года они поженились.

Через несколько месяцев после свадьбы она была призвана в АОИ. Её отправили офицером в Инженерный корпус Израиля.

В 1948—1952 годах — медицинский энтомолог в АОИ.

В 1950 году перешла в Научный корпус АОИ, где она изучала физиологию москитов — переносчиков трансмиссивных болезней.

В 1953—1955 годах со своим мужем занимались над докторской степенью в Университете штата Иллинойс в Урбане, штат Иллинойс, её муж занимался на химика, а она — на энтомолога. В своей докторской диссертации, защищённой в 1955 году, показывала, что домашние мухи могут растворять лактозу и ощущать её сладость.

В 1956—1978 годах возглавляла энтомологический отдел Израильского института биологических исследований.

В 1962 году стала одним из основателей Израильского энтомологического общества.

В 1965—1972 годах преподавала физиологию насекомых в отделе биологии Тель-Авивского университета в звании доцента; В 1969 году начала преподавать в Медицинском школе Тель-Авивского университета.

В 1974—1975 годах — приглашенный профессор в медицинской школе Техниона.

С 1977 года — профессор Еврейского университета.

В 1978—1982 годах возглавляла кафедру зоологии Еврейского университета.

В 1985 году перешла в Департамент паразитологии Медицинской школы Хадасса Еврейского университета, в 1987—1993 годах возглавляла Институт микробиологии на медицинском факультете.

В 1996 году вышла в отставку в должности профессора-эмерита.

Но продолжила трудиться в Институте океанографии Израиля.

В 1997—2000 годах — региональный директор израильско-египетского научного сотрудничества в рамках израильского академического центра в Каире, который работает при АН Израиля.

В 2002—2006 годах опубликовала более 50 популярных научных статей по энтомологии в журнале для молодых учёных.

Всего написала более 170 статей в научных журналах, сфера исследований — комары и другие двукрылые, блохи, клещи, пиявки и т. д., эктопаразиты, переносчики инфекционных болезней.

Со своим мужем Ари Галоном, директором химической компании и профессором химии в Университете им. Бен-Гуриона, умершим в 1995 году, имеет двоих детей (сын, д-р Эяль Галон, гинеколог, и дочь Мерав Ахисар, профессор нейробиологии в психологическом отделении Еврейского университета, профессор нейронауки в Институте Вейцмана).
