Rapid and drastic environmental, demographic and economic changes are putting an increasing burden on agriculture worldwide, threatening food security.
The Hebrew University's Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment in Rehovot takes part in the search for solutions for tomorrow's agriculture. The interdisciplinary hub for Next Generation Agriculture allies theoretical, complex systems, and big data integration approaches from single cells to agricultural ecosystems to create innovative developments and applications. Join us in the quest.

Prof. Ido Braslavsky

Cryopreservation, ice-binding proteins, ice physics, pattern formation, food biophysics and food 3D printing are subjects of my lab research which uses fluorescence microscopy with image analysis, motorized thermal controlled microscope stages with microfluidic devices, thermal analysis with Comsol, and atomic force microscopy to investigate these subjects.

Dr. Lior David

Genetic improvement incorporates next-gen technologies and computational analyses and we apply these methods to study animal genetics.

Dr. Idan Efroni

http://idanef.wixsite.com/efronilab

We study how plants make new organs and repair damaged ones. My lab combines biological data collection and introduc- tion of novel bioinformatic tools in order to translate genomic and single-cell transcriptomic data into developmental insights.

Dr. Oren Forkosh

Theory of happiness and well-being - using machine learning methods to develop the experimental and mathematical tools for a friendly study of positive psychology in both people and animals.

Dr. Tamar Friedlander

https://www.friedlander-lab.net/

We are a theory group, studying how biological networks evolve and self-organize, focusing on a plant reproductive system. We use mathematical models, computer simulations and genomic data analysis.

Dr. Yonatan Friedman

https://www.friedmanlab.net/

Engineering microbial communities to suppress plant patho- gens using modeling, genomics, and high-throughput experi- ments in synthetic microbial communities.

Dr. Ido Goldstein

www.ido-goldstein-lab.com

Our lab investigates how gene expression and chromatin is regulated in the liver. We use transcriptomics and genomics tools to assay liver transcriptional networks and get insights into liver biology.

Dr. Ittai Herrmann

The Plant Sensing Lab is using remote and proximal sensing for non-destructive phenotyping and precision agriculture.

Prof. Edouard Jurkevitch

https://edouardjlab.wixsite.com/edouardj-lab

Research interests: predatory interactions between bacteria, bacterial-insect symbioses, and soil identification using micro- bial fingerprints.

Dr. Nadav Kashtan

www.nadavkashtan.com

We are studying the amazing life of bacteria on plant leaf surfaces based on advanced microscopy and image processing, modeling and computer simulations.

Dr. Asaf Levy

https://plantpathology.agri.huji.ac.il/asaf-levy

We combine computational and experimental biology to improve agriculture and to develop technologies to fight infectious human and plant diseases. We analyze large-scale genome data to study how microbes adapt to the plant environment and combat against other microbes.

Dr. Yair Mau

Environmental modeling of desertification & soil degradation.

Prof. Masha Niv

https://biochem-food-nutrition.agri.huji.ac.il/mashaniv

Want to computationally design novel sweeteners, drugs and bioactive peptides? Explore the relation between toxicity, taste and smell? Join the Niv lab!

Dr. Sharon Schlesinger

https://animalscience.agri.huji.ac.il/sharonschlesinger

Transposable elements (TEs) have rewired the transcriptional network of embryonic development, but how? The Shlez lab is looking for a qualified, motivated and nice student to analyze data of RRBS, ChIPseq and RNAseq aiming to answer fundamental questions of gene regulation and development.
