- Controlled release systems for use in cancer and cellular therapy
- Molecular biology of pathogens
- Molecular microbiology and protein engineering
- Biotechnology of animal cells
- Applied genomics
- Biopolymers and nano-biotechnology
- The study of nanostructures and self-organization of soft materials
- Functional nanomaterials and biological sensors
- Applied biocatalysis
- The study of anti-bacterial peptides
- Functional food, nutriceuticals, and nanoscience in food
- Molecular Nutrition
A great deal of the technologies developed within the research framework taking place in the Faculty has been implemented today in Israeli and global industries.
