The Weizmann Institute of Science is in the perfect position to lead the charge, with an overarching goal of revealing new understandings of the brain, and paving the way towards treatments and cures for neurological diseases and disorders.
Bringing together Weizmann’s renowned neuroscientists and the advanced technologies that are transforming the field, the Brain and Neural Sciences initiative will drive breakthroughs in areas from autism to Alzheimer’s, dementia to depression, movement disorders to memory problems, neurochemistry to neuroimmunity. Research partnerships will span disciplines and the globe.
The Azrieli Institute for Brain and Neural Sciences will take neuroscience research into the future.
In order to finally understand the brain, a comprehensive approach is needed – one that combines a range of disciplines, a host of instrumentation and methodologies, and experts from across the sciences.
The Weizmann Institute possesses such diversity and capabilities, with more than 40 groups focused on neuroscience and multiple teams from other fields contributing to this work. Sophisticated equipment, such as the region’s only 7-Tesla MRI, advances the research.
Weizmann’s scientific community is close knit, collaborative, and agile, its scientists working together toward a common goal: truly comprehending the brain and developing treatments for its diseases and disorders.
