Dror Shemesh

Dror completed his B.Sc. in Optometry at Bar-Ilan University and earned his M.Sc. from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. His master's research focused on glaucoma, investigating the role of oxidative stress end products in extracellular vesicles and their impact on communication between the non-pigmented ciliary epithelium and the trabecular meshwork.

Dror's musical journey began when he discovered the Israeli rock band Mashina. Inspired by their music, he started playing the drums at the age of 12, and they have been a constant part of his life ever since. For Dror, music is more than just sound—it is life itself, always present, especially during challenging times.
