Centers

The Knell Family Center for Microbiology aims to promote the understanding of microorganisms and to harness this knowledge for the benefit of creating new tools to improve human health and our environment.

he M. Judith Ruth Institute for Preclinical Brain Research is paving the way towards groundbreaking discoveries in mental health and illness, as well as brain development and degeneration, by supporting preclinical core facilities and advanced disease modeling platforms for innovative comparative medicine research.

Braginsky Center for the Interface between Science and the Humanities provides funding for projects that focus on the intersection of science and humanities such as neuroscience and psychology; and chemistry and archaeology.

The Azrieli Institute for Systems Biology provides a platform for a large range of disciplines that apply holistic tools to comprehending biological phenomena, from genome architecture and function to model organism development and cancer.

The David and Fela Shapell Family Center for Genetic Disorders Research supports research on Down's syndrome and other genetic disorders. The center utilizes transgenic technologies toward elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which genetic mutations affect cell characteristics.

The Minerva Center on Live Emulation of Evolution in the Lab was formed in 2014 to conductscientific research in the fields of evolution, genomics and systems biology. The modelorganisms studied in particular are microbial species, worms and humans.

The Minerva Center for Decision-Making Strategies in Microorganisms – was established in 2015 and is dedicated to research in probabilistic decision making in bacteria and budding yeast.

The Kekst Family Institute for Medical Genetics supports research on the genetic mechanisms of life and their application to medicine.

The Kahn Family Research Center for Systems Biology of the Human Cell fosters high-level research in systems biology, a holistic approach to the study of biology with the objective of simultaneously monitoring all biological processes operating as an integrated system.

The Leo and Julia Forchheimer Center for Molecular Genetics funds research on the molecular and genetic mechanisms that underlie basic biological processes in complex organisms at the level of single-cell organisms and cells in culture.
