Research and Innovation
The Research Institute of Poriya, inaugurated in February 2015, stands as the pioneering research institute affiliated with the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine. It plays a crucial role in supporting a spectrum of exceptional medical services, bridging the gap between patient care and cutting-edge research.
Comprising five specialized laboratories, the institute focuses on translational research, particularly on prevalent health concerns in the North, such as heart disease, diabetes, stem cells, infectious diseases, the immune system, and the Covid-19 laboratory.
The dedicated team, including students, researchers, and doctors, collaborates closely with the medical center departments and research laboratories within the Faculty of Medicine complex. By basing their research on clinical observations and addressing the unique health challenges of the Galilee population, the institute contributes significantly to improving healthcare outcomes.
Beyond research, the institute serves as a vital hub for recruiting top talent, generating employment opportunities, and fostering a seamless connection between clinical practice and biomedical research in the Galilee.
The innovation center further complements these efforts by promoting intra-organizational entrepreneurship and fostering collaborations with high-tech companies and startups. Through initiatives like the science accelerator program and medical startup competitions, the center fuels innovative inventions and ideas, propelling the implementation of pioneering healthcare solutions despite the initial challenges of funding feasibility tests for entrepreneurial concepts.
