It prompted humankind to pursue agriculture, learn to build lodgings, invent writing, harness electricity to power emerging technologies, observe distant galaxies, design drugs to combat various diseases, develop new materials and decipher the genetic code embedded in all the plants and animals on Earth.
The quest to maintain this increasing momentum compels Weizmann Institute scientists to seek out places that have not yet been reached by the human mind. What awaits us in these places? No one has the answer to this question. But one thing is certain – the journey fired by curiosity will lead onward to a better future.
Groundbreaking medical and technological applications that have emerged from basic research conducted by Weizmann Institute scientists include:
Research Institutes and Centers can maximize the dynamism and synergy of outstanding groups of scientists working together in creative ways that can lead to unexpected and rewarding results to benefit all humanity. They are created by endowments given by philanthropic friends of the Weizmann Institute in order to focus research attention on broad topics that can benefit from a multidisciplinary approach. The annual yield provides funds for research grants, student stipends and travel allowances, postdoctoral fellowships, major shared equipment purchases and maintenance, and intellectual exchange.
