Neurobiology & Epigenetics Expert; Professor at Tel Aviv University; Co-Founder of qed Science; TED Speaker
Oded Rechavi Biography
Oded Rechavi is a professor of neurobiology at Tel Aviv University whose research focuses on epigenetics, evolution, and neuroscience. Rechavi investigates mechanisms of inheritance, demonstrating that environmentally induced acquired traits can be transmitted to subsequent generations without changes to DNA. He is recognized for his work on transgenerational small RNA inheritance in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Using nematodes, Rechavi has shown that exposure to environmental challenges triggers the synthesis of heritable small RNAs, which regulate gene expression in progeny and result in phenotypic changes across generations. His studies provide evidence that small RNAs can be transmitted between generations and that these molecules are transcribed in response to environmental factors, preparing offspring for similar conditions. Rechavi’s research also reveals that parental brain activity can influence progeny behavior. In addition to his work in epigenetics, he has identified a neuronal circuit-level mechanism underlying economic irrationality. His team also explores the use of brain parasites to deliver proteins for manipulating malfunctioning neurons, with potential applications in neuroscience and disease treatment.
Rechavi has contributed to research on the Dead Sea Scrolls by sequencing the DNA of animal skins used in the manuscripts, helping to determine the origins and relationships of different fragments. He is a co-founder of qed Science, a company focused on reducing bias in scientific evaluation.
Rechavi is a European Research Council Fellow and has received several awards, including the Polymath Award, the Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists, the Kadar Family Award for Outstanding Research, and the Krill Prize of the Wolf Foundation for Excellence in Scientific Research. He has led international teams awarded significant grants, such as a $1.2 million grant from the Human Frontier Science Program. Rechavi has been recognized among the "10 Most Creative People in Israel Under 40" and the "40 Most Promising People in Israel Under 40."
Rechavi has delivered a TED Talk on transgenerational biology and appeared on platforms including the Huberman Lab Podcast, where he discusses inheritance, memory, and molecular biology. His research explores how environmental information, such as stress exposure, is transmitted across generations via small RNA molecules, creating molecular memory that persists without altering the DNA sequence. Rechavi’s work bridges scientific rigor with public communication, contributing to the understanding of biology, inheritance, and gene expression.
