With no preventative therapy currently available for pre-leukemic individuals, that number is alarming. However, a group led by Professor Liran Shlush at the Weizmann Institute of Science has found that treatment with ROCK inhibitors can inhibit the growth of pre-leukemic mutated cells. This in turn, prevents disease onset.

This breakthrough could ultimately change the course of AML.

Something exciting is happening in the world of Quantum Computing!

Last week, the Israel Innovation Authority announced the formation of the largest consortium in its history, with a three-year budget of NIS 115 million. Weizmann Institute of Science, professor Roee Ozeri is amongst the leading academic entities supporting the development.

AstraZeneca, Accenture, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Clalit Health Services - the largest healthcare organization in Israel - have selected six startups to participate in BeyondBio SCALE. Among them is Yeda spinoff company, “Curesponse” - a unique, innovative and focused test combining tissue reactions to various drugs with rapid genomic sequencing for optimal cancer treatment adjustment.

According to FreezeM CEO, Yuval Gilad, “The world is facing an unprecedented food crisis, with the global population expected to reach 10 billion people by 2050, thus new technologies are needed urgently to sustainably produce, store and transport animal protein feed.”

No more fuzzy photos! Have you ever zoomed in with your phone-camera only to discover poor, blurry or pixelated image quality? We’ve all been there. Fortunately, Prof. Michal Irani and her research team have developed an innovative Zero-shot Super-resolution (ZSSR) approach to help enhance camera zoom technology and achieve “crystal clarity” - without prior data training!
