Dr. Ofri Levi’s research addresses fungal resistance, a significant challenge with profound implications for both global agriculture and human health. The primary focus of the research is on elucidating the role of gene expression regulation in the development and persistence of antifungal resistance. In parallel, the lab is investigating the antifungal efficacy of plant-derived compounds using advanced genomic methodologies, particularly genome-wide CRISPR screens. By dissecting the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying fungal resistance, Dr. Levi's work is dedicated to developing innovative and environmentally sustainable antifungal strategies.
