Bina Innovation Fellowship - Cohort 3 Opening Session

Bina Fellowship is on the air at Bina, the Weizmann Institute of Science

We kicked off the 3rd cohort of the Bina Innovation Fellowship!

We had the pleasure of launching a selective group of PhD students - curious, driven, and ready to translate science into real-world impact.

At our opening session, each fellow introduced themselves with a three-minute pitch - our baseline to revisit at the end of the course and see the growth. We also shared an overview of Bina and the campus innovation ecosystem, highlighting how ideas move from the lab to the market, with some success stories. We then dove into the fundamentals of technology transfer and even had some fun with a prize game. From here, we’ll move into workshops and mentoring that sharpen applied thinking, market analysis, and clear storytelling.

Welcome, fellows - you’re an outstanding group. We have high expectations and look forward to seeing how you grow and sharpen your skills!

Bina Fellowship Cohort 3 at Bina - Bridge Innovate Nurture Advance, The Weizmann Institute of Science

Session 2 took us from the investor lens to the incubator model and all the way to a founder’s journey.

Dr. Tamar Farfel-Becker, PhD (YEDA - Technology Transfer Company of Weizmann Institute of Science) unpacked the venture capital world and how opportunities look through an investor’s eyes - what matters, why timing and fit are key, and how to speak the language of value.

Bina Workshop For Students in the Weizmann MD-PhD Program.

Dr. Merav Marom and Dr. Ronny Peri Naor, project managers at Bina, Weizmann Institute of Science, had the pleasure of instructing a workshop for students in the Weizmann MD-PhD Program.
Our goal was to strengthen the foundations of research planning and experimental design. Rigorous design is what turns “interesting results” into reliable, reproducible data. We discussed a key translational challenge: many academic experiments fail to reproduce well when applied in an industry setting, which directly impacts the path from discovery to real-world impact.

New Collaboration Project Was Approved by Bina Nurture Committee

Bina is pleased to announce the launch of a newly approved collaborative research project, which brings together expertise from two leading research institutions.
The project is a collaboration between Dr. Haim Barr, Head of the Maurice and Vivienne Wohl Institute for Drug Discovery at the Weizmann Institute of Science, and Prof. Yossi (Joseph) Tam from the Institute for Drug Research at the School of Pharmacy, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
