Our lab is located at the Agricultural Research Organisation, the Volcani Center, in the heart of Israel.

We focus on understanding the fascinating dialog between bacterial pathogens, their insect vectors and host plants. We use diverse research tools such as molecular genetics, biochemistry, bioinformatics and classical phytopathology. To learn more about us and our research click the tabs above.
