Department of Chemical and Structural Biology
head:Prof. Koby Levysecretary:Department websitesecretary:Nicole Dorfman
Our research combines tools and outlooks of structural biology and synthetic organic chemistry to elucidate, sense, and regulate the activities of biomolecules. We use state-of-the-art techniques in electron microscopy, diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance, molecular dynamics, mass spectrometry, single-molecule spectroscopy, and molecular design. Our department is highly interdisciplinary, at the interface of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.

Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences
head:Prof. Itay Halevysecretary:Department websitesecretary:Dalia Madhala
We explore interactions between physical, chemical and biological processes that dictate the evolution and properties of the earth and other planet systems. We try to better understand these complex systems using theoretical, lab, field and remote sensing approaches. We study topics that are in the core Earth and Planetary Sciences as well as topics that are linked to other disciplines such as ecology, biology and health.

Department of Molecular Chemistry and Materials Science
head:Prof. Milko van der Boomsecretary:Department websitesecretary:Natali Levin
The Department of Molecular Chemistry and Materials Science is home to a diverse group of scientists broadly interested in new materials. Research areas in this highly interdisciplinary department include supramolecular and systems chemistry, organic-inorganic interfaces, catalysis, colloidal chemistry, nanoscience and nanotechnology, solid-state physics, photochemistry, as well as stimuli-responsive, “smart” materials.

Department of Chemical Research Support
head:Prof. Dan Oronsecretary:Department websitesecretary:Maya Bachar
The Chemical Research Support department is a research resource facility of the Weizmann Institute. We provide access to state-of-the-art instrumentation, including nanofabrication, imaging and spectroscopy instruments, analyses, training, and consultation to all institute researchers. Our staff scientists contribute their expertise to cutting-edge research across the campus.
