Prof. Yair Reisner of the Institute's Immunology Department will be awarded the Daniele Chianelli Prize on December 15, 2002, commemorating his work of over 20 years on incompatible stem cell transplantation. Bone marrow or stem cell tranplantation is a crucial part of the therapeutic strategy aimed at saving the lives of people with leukemia, malignant lymphoma, multiple myeloma and congenital blood disorders, such as thalassemia or severe immune deficiencies.
Genes, Neurons, and The Internet Found to Have Organizing Principles – Some Identical

How do 30,000 genes in our DNA work together to form a large part of who we are? How do one hundred billion neurons operate in our brain? The huge number of factors involved makes such complex networks hard to crack. Now, a study published in the October 25 issue of Science uncovers a strategy for finding the organizing principles of virtually any network – from neural networks to ecological food webs or the Internet.

What precisely happens when an atom sheds its particle form and changes into a wavy guise? When does this happen and why? These basic questions, at the core of matter’s existence, are the research focus of Dr. Nir Davidson of the Weizmann Institute’s Physics of Complex Systems Department.

Whether spellbinding or tedious, a video film seems like a simple sequence of pictures. Yet it encompasses often-overlooked spatial and temporal information. Dr. Michal Irani of the Weizmann Institute's Computer Science and Applied Mathematics Department develops advanced methods for extracting and analyzing this information

It was long believed that the rotation of the "retinal molecule" was the first stage in vision. However, Prof. Mordechai Sheves of the Weizmann Institute’s Organic Chemistry Department revealed that the retinal protein’s structure changes even when rotation of its internal retinal molecule is prevented, suggesting that the visual process starts even earlier.

Chlorophyll molecules have been selected by nature over billions of years of evolution to help plants and certain bacteria utilize sunlight to drive the production of carbohydrates. Prof. Avigdor Scherz of the Weizmann Institute’s Plant Sciences Department and Prof. Yoram Salomon of the Biological Regulation Department have recently prepared chlorophyll derivatives that might also help save the eyesight of humans.

What happens in our brains while listening to music or deciphering dual optical illusions, like the one illustrated above? Prof. Amiram Grinvald and his research team at the Weizmann Institute’s Neurobiology Department have directly observed the first clues to the neuronal basis of the truism “It’s all in the eye of the beholder.” Sensory perception, the researchers proved, is a dual process.
