Mendel Lectures - Oded Rechavi

A full professor at Tel Aviv University, Dr. Rechavi uncovered how acquired traits can be inherited and revealed the mysterious RNA-based mechanisms that transmit information across generations—reshaping our understanding of evolution itself.

His discoveries span from neuronal control of inheritance in nematodes to genome sequencing of the Dead Sea Scrolls and engineered parasites that deliver drugs to the brain.

Explore how his bold and imaginative research continues to redefine what we thought was possible in genetics, neuroscience, and beyond.
