About

Weizmann Institute of Science

The Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, is one of the world's top-ranking multidisciplinary research institutions. Noted for its wide-ranging exploration of the natural and exact sciences, the Institute is home to 3,700 scientists, students, technicians, and supporting staff. The Institute's research efforts include searching for new ways of fighting disease and hunger, examining leading questions in mathematics and computer science, probing the physics of matter and the universe, creating novel materials and developing new strategies for protecting the environment.

The Clore Institute for High-Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy advances the technologies used to probe the structure of chemicals in solids and liquids, the biochemical composition of cells and tissues, and and the dynamics occurring within complex, living environments. Building on pioneering magnetic resonance approaches created by Weizmann Institute researchers, since starting in the 1950s, the Clore Institute supports MR-oriented research currently being pursued in over a dozen labs across the Weizmann campus.

These discoveries have enabled important applicative advances in clinical medicine, in biochemistry, in neuroscience, in green chemistry, and in advanced materials. Weizmann Institute experts in magnetic resonance have also contributed MRI, EPR and NMR techniques that have expanded human knowledge in chemistry, biochemistry and physics.
