    Making Personalized Medicine a Reality
    Weizmann Views, Issue No. 37

    Dr. Berta Strulovici, director of the Weizmann Institute's Nancy and Stephen Grand Israel National Center for Personalized Medicine, explains how personalized, or “precision,” medicine uses information about a person's genes, proteins, and environment to prevent, diagnose, and treat patients – a “proactive rather than reactive” approach.

    Sea Change, Climate Change
    E-News, October 2014

    The ocean covers more than 70 percent of Earth's surface – and rising. As our weather changes, Weizmann Institute scientists are studying the ocean, using everything from microscopes to satellites, to understand its relationship with our climate. What will the future bring?

    Artificial Sweeteners Hit a Sour Note
    E-News

    Artificial sweeteners have long been promoted as diet and health aids – but Weizmann scientists have discovered that such products may be causing our gut bacteria to trigger harmful metabolic changes. In other words, the sweeteners may be leading to the very diseases – such as obesity – they were supposed to help prevent.

    Stem Cells, Changing Fast
    E-News

    Stem cell research is one of the fastest-moving fields of science today, with new findings coming one after another. In just the past several months alone, Weizmann scientists have discovered important new information about how stem cells grow, choose their fates, and can be reprogrammed. These mighty cells have the potential to change medicine as we know it.

    Harnessing the Power of Stem Cells
    Weizmann Views, Issue No. 36

    This issue of Weizmann Views features Dr. Jacob Hanna, an MD/PhD who is one of the world's leaders in stem cell research. His methods for quickly, efficiently producing induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and for “resetting” iPS cells to their earliest possible state could change the face of medicine, including growing organs on demand.

    New Space Telescopes Will Build on Israeli Experience
    The Weizmann International Magazine of Science and People

    The Weizmann Institute's stellar astrophysics team is developing a small, light satellite that will be equipped with a telescope searching in the ultraviolet range for events such as supernovas and black holes. The team is collaborating with Caltech and NASA, among others, on the satellite, which is a first for Weizmann – and for Israel.
