Award-Winning Scholars
Our scholars are decorated with many awards. Here is a partial list:
The Herskovits Lab is studying how bacterial pathogens cooperate with their prophages during infection of mammalian cells. Bacteriophages are obligatory parasites yet, when integrated into the chromosome of their bacterial host they support its survival under certain circumstances. The lab is using various genetic, computational and biochemical methods to study the interaction between bacterial pathogens and bacteriophages.
Prof. Herskovits received the Moshe-Shiloh Prize for excellent studies in Microbiology. She won two consecutive ERC grants, starter and Consolidator, and is the President of the Israel Society of Microbiology.
