We aim to bridge between basic scientists and clinicians, to challenge results found in cells or animal models into clinical trials, and to introduce novel technologies into clinical practice.
The physicians and scientists at the Medical Center ( over 1000 MDs and PhDs), are highly trained in numerous specialties.
The clinical departments are affiliated to the Sackler faculty of Medicine at Tel-Aviv University, and participate actively in teaching medical students. Our staff also includes dedicated scientists who possess the unique expertise of combining basic research with clinical applications.
Since our funding is limited, as priorities lie in developing the clinical facilities, the staff is forced to seek external funding. The result is a long-standing, intricate relationship with pharmaceutical companies and small biotech companies on the one hand, and with basic scientists at other academic institutions on the other.
Research is conducted in laboratories attached to clinical departments or in research facilities affiliated to the departments.
TASMC management has made a commitment to research, and encourages its physicians to devote time to research during and after their training.
Concurrent with the attention to developing research skills in the young staff, TASMC also invests in unique equipment, infrastructure and expert scientist positions.
Particular emphasis is placed on developing centers of excellence, such as:
Advanced Brain Imaging Genomics Research Regenerative Medicine Cancer Research Epidemiology and Resistance to Antibiotics Cardiovascular Research Gait and Movement Disorders
