The hallmark of the research conducted at the Weizmann Institute of Science is its interdisciplinary nature. Biologists, chemists, mathematicians, computer scientists, and physicists in 250 labs led by principal investigators are leading thousands of investigations that serve as the underpinning for real-world applications and an ever-expanding understanding of the world.
The Weizmann Institute of Science is one of the world’s leading multidisciplinary basic research institutions in the natural and exact sciences. It is located in Rehovot, Israel, just south of Tel Aviv. It was initially established as the Daniel Sieff Institute in 1934, by Israel and Rebecca Sieff of London in memory of their son Daniel. In 1949, it was renamed for Dr. Chaim Weizmann, the first President of the State of Israel and Founder of the Institute.
