Research in the lab focuses on two main areas: 1) Insect symbiosis; 2) Biological control of arthropod pests.
Biological control is defined as the deliberate use of organisms (natural enemies) to regulate the population size of pest organisms. Many natural enemies harbor microbial symbionts. We study the ecology and evolution of the microbial symbionts, their effects on insect natural enemies and their relevance to biological control.

The Department of Biology and Environment is part of the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the University of Haifa, physically located at Oranim College campus in Tivon (about 20km from Haifa).
