Weizmann’s research into advanced technology is immense and acts as a timeline for technology’s evolution.
The Garvan-Weizmann Centre for Cellular Genomics was celebrated at the Annual General Meeting of the International Board on November 13 in the presence of many Australian friends and scientists. Jillian Segal, a major donor to the partnership who, with her husband...
To celebrate the second anniversary of the Garvan-Weizmann Partnership, the Weizmann Institute of Science’s Vice President Elect, Professor Reich Ziv, and Head of Weizmann’s Crown Institute for Genomics, Dr Keren-ShaulHadas, came to Australia to deliver talks and meet...
One of the world’s smallest solar cells might be a nanotube – not the kind made of carbon, but one composed of an inorganic compound rolled around itself like a hollow cigar. This discovery – the fruit of collaboration between physicists in Japan and Germany and...
An Israeli-German mission that includes the Weizmann Institute of Science, which plans to launch a formation of ten tiny satellites that use medically-inspired CT (computed tomography) algorithms to answer climate questions, has won a €14 million European Research...
A new tool developed by Weizmann Institute of Science researchers for mapping cells reveals how complex regulatory systems evolved to help diverse cell types cooperate. The first multi-celled organisms began appearing on Earth hundreds of millions of years ago. That...
The quantum computers of the future will be able to perform computations today’s computers cannot. These may likely include the ability to crack the encryption that is currently used for secure electronic transactions, as well as the means to efficiently solve...
One year ago, the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, Sydney, and the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel, came together to form the Garvan-Weizmann Partnership, with a cornerstone physical centre in Darlinghurst, Sydney - the Garvan-Weizmann Centre for...
As reported recently in Australian Jewish News by Shane Desianik The potential to uncover cures and personalised treatments for cancer through advancements in genomic medicine was significantly boosted earlier this month when the partnership between Australia’s Garvan...
New research from the Weizmann Institute of Science and recently published in Nature Communications has delved into the process by which small sequences of RNA – microRNAs – regulate the long ones, predicting ways in which microRNAs would bind to the messenger...
The Weizmann Institute of Science’s key Australian partner - The Garvan Institute of Medical Research – has appointed leading immunology scientist, Professor Chris Goodnow FAA FRS, as its next Executive Director. In his congratulations, Weizmann Australia’s Chairman,...
The Garvan Institute of Medical Research, Sydney, and Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel, have now officially opened the Garvan-Weizmann Centre for Cellular Genomics – where the genetic makeup of thousands of individual cells can be studied at one time....
Weizmann Institute scientists have developed two new databases aimed at advancing personalised medicine. These databases, which combine biological and biomedical information with the use of computational technologies, were created by the team of Professor Doron Lancet...
It started with a couple of scientists working halfway around the world from each other. Professor Peter Croucher at the Garvan Institute was working to understand why, even after a person has been cured of cancer, it could reappear, sparked by the movement of a few...
Navigating to a destination, whether you are a human or a bat, requires a complex set of calculations and interactions among brain cells. Weizmann Institute of Science researchers working with bats, have now revealed the network of cells that encode the direction of...
Recently reported in Nature, a new device developed by Weizmann Institute scientists can take the temperature of nanometre-sized materials – like those that will form the basis of new quantum electronics – with unprecedented accuracy, resolving temperature changes...
What combinations of mutations help cancer cells survive? Which cells in the brain are involved in the onset of Alzheimer’s? How do immune cells conduct their convoluted decision-making processes? Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have now combined two...
Imagine a living room that switches off the lights when everybody’s gone to bed. A clothes iron that, if left on in an empty house, sends a message to your phone. Or a percolator that puts coffee on the boil in the kitchen the moment your feet hit the bedroom floor....
Discovering how proteins originated and developed is the focus of research in the lab of Professor Dan Tawfik of the Weizmann Institute’s Biomolecular Sciences Department, and where, with the help of computer science, they went back in time to find the answers. Made...
It was the first time for Weizmann’s Professor Ido Amit to visit the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, where he met senior staff to discuss the recently announced Garvan-Weizmann partnership to establish a centre for cellular genomics, currently under...
A molecular invisible ink is now available. Called a molecular-scale messaging sensor (m-SMS), this is part of a secure, chemically based system designed to transmit and reveal secret messages. Created by Weizmann Institute of Science researchers, this unique new...
At some point in our lives we have all had to consciously use our brains to learn at school, university and work – dreaming of how great it would be to do it subconsciously. Now Weizmann Institute of Science researchers have shown that in the future this could be...
Two world-class research facilities – the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel and the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, Australia – will unite to establish a new centre based in Sydney. The new venture – to be called the Garvan-Weizmann Centre for Cellular...
Proteins are the molecular machines that make living things function. Understanding, measuring and visualising their structural changes as they perform biological functions are therefore imperative. However to see such changes, proteins must be studied not in a...
GUIDED GROWTH OF NANOWIRES LEADS TO SELF-INTEGRATED CIRCUITS Researchers working with tiny components in nanoelectronics face a challenge similar to that of parents of small children: teaching them to manage on their own. The nano-components are so small that...
