His interest is in mind mechanisms that drive evolutionary beneficial behaviors. In this context he developed the "Boss Theory", an evolutionary driven theory that aims to describe a conceptual framework for

Along with teaching and research, Darvasi founded IDgene, a biotechnology company that studied the genetic basis of common diseases (such as diabetes, asthma, cancer, schizophrenia and many others) as a mean to discover novel therapies. In 1999 the company raised over US$ 15 million from various

Between 2006 and 2009 Darvasi was Head of
Genetics Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and then Head of the entire Life Sciences curriculum until 2012. From 2012 to 2016 Darvasi served as Vice Dean of the Faculty of Sciences of The Hebrew University.
213:. Darvasi, in collaboration with Marshall Devor, studied the genetic basis of chronic pain. Using a mouse model they identified a novel gene affecting predisposition to chronic pain. Their findings were shown to affect chronic pain in humans as well.

In 2004 the company ceased formal operations and all intellectual property was transferred to the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem. Over the years, Darvasi also co-founded several other biotechnology companies in Israel and the US.
