ULTRASAT, a new project spearheaded by Weizmann Institute astrophysicists, is a new satellite that will make it possible to continuously gather data on transient events, like gravitational waves, to clue us in to the dynamics of our ever-changing universe.

A new program launched by Yeda, the Weizmann Institute’s technology transfer arm, is bridging the gap between basic science breakthroughs and commercial application.

The promise of personalized medicine—an approach in which the treatment of disease is customized, based on an individual’s genetic profile—is fueling progress in research labs all over the world, and is of particular importance for the study of cancer. This is because cancer, once believed to be a single disease, is now widely understood as a range of conditions that play out differently in individual patients.
