Sabine Akabayov was born in Germany and moved to Israel to earn a PhD in Structural Biology/Chemistry.  Afterwards, she was a researcher at Harvard Medical School in Boston for 7 years before returning to Israel.  She has now turned her passions, translation and genealogy, into a profession, supported by education from NYU-SCPS, BU, ProGen, SLIG, and others.
