We study how to optimally manage harmful invasive species. We find strategies that minimize the costs, including the cost of treatment and damages due to the invasive species over time. We examine what is the optimal strategy to combine various treatment methods over time, and how to optimally allocate the treatment over space. See more at Adam Lampert Lab.
The Levy lab used comparative and functional genomics approaches to systematically characterize the extracellular contractile injection system (eCIS), a microbial toxin delivery system. By analyzing 65,000 genomes we identified that eCIS is prevalent in environmental microbes from soil, water, plants, and invertebrates and is depleted from mammalian pathogens and commensal bacteria. We identified eCIS operons, discovered novel toxins, and created a comprehensive eCIS database (see paper). See more at Asaf Levy Lab.
How does nutrition shape the brain epigenome and regulate 3D- chromatin organization, in both healthy and diseased states? See more at Asaf Marco's lab.

As part of our efforts to investigate the effects of vegetation on photochemical air pollution, we develop updated chemical mechanisms to account for the interaction of the biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) from vegetation with anthropogenic air pollution. (GABAY AND TAS, 2019).

Single-cell transcriptomes of 2,000 cells from initiating root tomato root meristems showing the transition from cambium cells (1) to early root progenitors (4). See more at IDAN EFRONI LAB
Our lab uses transcriptomic and genomic tools to assay liver transcriptional networks and get insights into liver biology. We study changes in gene expression and chromatin dynamics during fasting and following metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes (see paper). See more at Ido Goldstein Lab.
