Translational Research in the Weizmann Institute begins with Bina
About Bina
Bina is a scientific unit at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Its mission is to identify, nurture and support early-stage basic research projects with practical applications that are likely to produce intellectual property. Bina also runs outreach programs to encourage translational research across campus and community development programs to equip scientists with translational science skills. It is administered by the Vice President for Innovation & Technology Transfer.
The Bina Nurture Program
For its Nurture Program, Bina seeks promising high-impact research projects with translational potential from across the Weizmann Institute campus. Projects receive expert mentorship from industry veterans, who guide the project in a scientific and technological capacity. The scientist-and-mentor teams create a work plan and strive toward a proof-of-concept.
