Research

One could say there are as many fields of research at the Weizmann Institute as there are scientists – maybe more. The Institute’s five faculties are divided into 17 departments, but that only tells part of the story. Fifty different research institutes and centers give scientists frameworks to research everything from astrophysics to biological physics, from the workings of the brain to photosynthesis. And our scientists are continually helping to create new fields as they venture further and further out along their various research paths. The following list is by no means exhaustive. Rather, it is a mere taste of “what we are doing about” a number of important research subjects.
