David Ruel
Ph.D. Student
Phone: +972 8 948 9396
Email: david.ruel@mail.huji.ac.il
In the summer of 2017, David graduated from the Functional and Evolutionary Ecology M.Sc. program headed by Prof. Vandenkoornhuyse at Rennes University in France. He did his internship in the lab of Dr. Colinet where he focused on insect biocontrol. The same year, he joined our lab to study the function of mosquito odorant receptors. In 2019, David published his findings about a supersensitive skatole receptor from mosquito larvae, which operate in aquatic environment. In his last study, David identified candidate indole sensitive receptors in Drosophila melanogaster, which were previously thought to be an exclusive feature of mosquitoes. David graduated in 2021.
David is now a research associate in the group of Andreas Lüthi at the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research in Basel where he is involved in a project on neuronal network in the mice brain.

Amir Dekel
Ph.D. Student

Email: amir.dekel1@mail.huji.ac.il
Amir completed his M.Sc. studies in botanics as part of a joint program between Bar-Ilan university and the laboratory of Dr. Victoria Soroker at the Agricultural Research Organization. His thesis examined how physiological and environmental factors influence the olfactory and behavioral responses to host fruit volatiles in the Ethiopian fruit fly. After working in the inspection unit of stored-product pests at the Israeli ministry of agriculture, Amir joined the lab in October 2015 to study the ecological role of mosquito odorant receptors. Amir graduated in 2021 and is now a member of FreezeM.

Nevo Weiner (2018)
High School Graduate
Phone: 972-(0)8-948-9865
Email: nevo.weiner@gmail.com
From a young age Nevo was fascinated by trees and plants, and showed a keen interest in Botany. It drove him to get a major in Biology at Thelma Yellin High School, Giv'ataim. After his graduation (2018) he has joined the lab, where he applies his rudimentory knowledge of the lab by taking care of the mosquito colonies, whilst achieving practical experience.
