Prevention and treatment of Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Prof. Sarit Larisch, Department of Human Biology
Prof. Sarit Larisch and her team have discovered ARTS – A pro-apoptotic and tumor suppressor protein which has been found to efficiently KILL breast cancer cells and REVERT pre-malignant breast organoids back to their normal phenotype, leaving the normal breast cells intact. These compounds can be developed into novel, life-saving drugs for multiple cancers.

Blood Biomarkers for predicting drug response in psychiatric disorders
Prof Shani Stern, Department of Neurobiology
Using patient-derived neurons, blood biomarkers and machine learning the lab has developed a blood test which predicts drug responses to first line drugs in Bi-polar disorder and Schizophrenia with over 90% accuracy as well as suicide risk prediction in Bi-Polar patients. The brain organoid models can also enable testing of new treatments.

DIGILTON - Image‑based digital measure for evaluation of depression
Prof. Sigal Zlica-Mano, Department of Psychology
Digilton is a smartphone-based assessment tool that mirrors the accuracy of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression — the gold standard for evaluating depressive symptoms in clinical interviews. It delivers results as accurate as a one-hour clinical interview, in a minute.
DIGILTON - Image‑based digital measure for evaluation of depression
Prof. Sigal Zlica-Mano, Department of Psychology
Creation of systems designed to perform a myriad of tasks in a group of autonomous agents (Swarm) with increased efficiency and adaptability. The Swarm (can be drones or robots or nanoparticles for medicine) work collectively to perform tasks through decentralized coordination and communication. Value proposition:
- Decision-making algorithms (also using neuromorphic computing).
- Algorithms for detecting underwater targets.
- Underwater vision enhancement in underwater vehicles and drones.
QR2i – First-in-Class Therapy for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Prof. Kobi Rosenblum, Department of Neurobiology
QR2i is a first-in-class small molecule therapy targeting quinone reductase 2 (QR2), a key driver of oxidative stress and neuroinflammation following traumatic brain injury. The inhibitors are selective, water-soluble, brain-penetrant, and non-toxic. Together with Shiba Tel Hashomer QR2i was tested in preclinical models, demonstrating neuroprotection, preservation of blood-brain barrier integrity, and sustained cognitive recovery. The platform is IP-protected and supported by clinically translatable imaging and fluid biomarkers, positioning it as a potential disease-modifying therapy in TBI.

Prof. Avi Avital,
Department of Occupational Therapy
A pharmacological drug combination protocol targeting attention and sensory-emotional regulation. This novel treatment approach could create a differentiated therapeutic pathway for improving PTSD symptoms, cognitive performance, and sensory-emotional functioning.
PTSD treatment through attention and sensory regulation
Anti-inflammatory and fibrosis treatment
Prof. Amiram Ariel, Department of Human Biology
This project develops biased STING agonists as a novel anti-inflammatory therapeutic strategy, with primary focus on liver and lung injury indications. In preclinical models, the lead molecules demonstrated strong, dose-dependent suppression of inflammation, and a favorable safety profile. Studies confirmed differential, indication-specific efficacy in acute acetaminopheninduced liver injury and pulmonary fibrosis, supporting a modular platform approach. This project is advancing towards targeting orphan and high-unmet-need inflammatory indications.

Satellite-Based Detection of Pollution
and Waste Across land and Sea
Prof. Anna Brook, Department of Geography and Environmental studies
A scalable, ML-driven platform that detects pollution and waste as environmental anomalies using satellite data, across both marine and terrestrial environments. The platform fuses multi-sensor satellite imagery and applies advanced anomaly-detection models to identify abnormal patterns in water, soil, and surface conditions, enabling early warning, continuous monitoring, and decision support.
