Biography
Tom Levy is currently pursuing his PhD studies at Ben-Gurion University, Israel. He is studying the controlling mechanism behind sexual differentiation in crustaceans in order to shed light on crustacean's reproductive physiology which will also pave the way for the establishment of sustainable biotechnological tools to achieve monosex populations. With his colleagues from Ben-Gurion University and Enzootic Ltd., he has recently published a paper on a novel biotechnology to achieve all-female aquaculture of the giant freshwater prawn.
