About Us
Founded in 1944, the American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science develops philanthropic support for the Weizmann Institute in Israel, and advances its mission of science for the future of humanity.
Working with partners like Microsoft, our scientists are blending technology and biology to help computers “see,” with applications in medical imaging, robotics, healthcare, tracking seismic activity, and security.
Advancing TechnologyMultiple sclerosis (MS) affects 2.5 million people worldwide. Our research led to Copaxone® and Rebif®, two FDA-approved drugs that are now frontline treatments for MS.
Improving Health & MedicineOur scientists were on the history-making team that identified the Higgs boson–the “God particle”–at Geneva’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the strongest particle accelerator ever built. Institute physicists are leading ongoing LHC projects that examine some of the universe’s greatest mysteries.
