Chag Sameach & Happy Easter from Bina

We held a cross-institutional brainstorm at Bina - Bridge Innovate Nurture Advance to scope a new collaboration between Meir Medical Center's Hemato-Oncology Unit and the Weizmann Institute of Science.

The challenge: Managing neutropenia today relies largely on neutrophil counts, but count≠function. There’s an unmet need to characterize neutrophil functionality, not just quantity, to better predict which patients are at highest risk of severe infections after chemotherapy and guide treatment decisions.

Sharon Fireman, Head of Bina - Bridge Innovate Nurture Advance participated in Covergence 2025, organized by Innovosource, which convened leaders from university GAP funds and accelerator programs to exchange ideas on advancing research translation and innovation.

As the translational research and innovation arm of the Weizmann Institute of Science, Bina is part of a global community working to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and societal impact.

Innovation in Neuroscience: Challenges & Opportunities

Bina - Bridge Innovate Nurture Advance hosted a special translational neuroscience event, bringing together leaders from academia and industry to bridge the gap between lab research and real-world applications.
