HUJI BITE: Why So Bitter?

Eitan Margulis and Lior Peri are taking a healthier approach: masking the bitter taste entirely. Eitan Margulis employs computational tools to identify potentially bitter compounds, which Lior Peri tests and analyzes in the lab. Together, they hope to better understand the bitter taste, to make friendlier (and tastier) medication.
Eitan Margulis and Lior Peri are doctoral students in the Department of Biochemistry, Food Science and Nutrition.
