The new facility aims to advance research in the field through interdisciplinary cooperation and produce tangible results with “high clinical relevance,” according to Weizmann Canada, which raises funds and organizes events on behalf of the Weizmann Institute. .
“In addition to Weizmann’s outstanding results in the field of science at large, and neuroscience in particular, we are delighted that this new institute facilitates and amplifies collaborative work between 40 groups in several disciplines,” said the president- CEO of the Azrieli Foundation, Dr Naomi Azrieli.

The building will house all of the neuroscience researchers at the Weizmann Institute, who will collaborate to better understand how the brain works and develops, added Weizmann Canada.

“I am confident that this unique new research environment will enable the next big step forward in brain research,” said Prof. Alon Chen, President of the Weizmann Institute.
Although the Azrieli Foundation has shared a partnership with the Weizmann Institute and Weizmann Canada for years, Weizmann Canada has noted that the donation to the Azrieli Institute will be “one of the largest of its kind.”
Weizmann Canada CEO, Susan Stern, expressed her gratitude for the Azrieli Foundation’s donation, as well as for her partnership with her organization, adding that “the foundation’s leadership through this magnanimous new donation will benefit humanity in promoting global collective understanding of the brain ”.
