Rachel Ben Levy - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

Rachel Levy is a prominent researcher affiliated with the Immunology and Infectious Diseases Laboratory, Department of Clinical Biochemistry and Pharmacology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Soroka University Medical Center, located in Beer Sheva, Israel. Her research is primarily focused on the intricate mechanisms of cellular and molecular immunology, with a keen interest in the roles of enzymes and proteins in immune responses.

Research Contributions

Rachel Levy's work has significantly contributed to the understanding of immune cell functions, particularly in relation to cytosolic phospholipase A2 alpha (cPLA2α) and NADPH oxidases. Her research includes studies on the binding interactions between these molecules in mouse macrophages and their implications in neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Additionally, she has explored the effects of genetic deficiencies, like DOCK8, on neutrophil functions, and investigated potential anti-inflammatory treatments using natural compounds. Her studies are instrumental in advancing therapeutic strategies for immunological and neurodegenerative conditions.
