Prof. Refaeli’s research focuses on the intricate field of insect physiology, exploring the complex molecular mechani pheromones hormones, and neurobioactive compounds. Her scientific work delves into the cellular and molecular levels, investigating receptors, transducers, and second messengers that govern insect behavior and development.
The core of her research lies in the study of information molecules that function as biological regulators (Bio-regulators). Prof. Ada’s primary objective is to exploit these information molecules to develop the next generation of insect-specific, bio-rational insecticides. These innovative solutions are designed to be highly targeted and efficient, ensuring significantly enhanced safety for both human health and the environment.
