Reducing COVID-19 Diagnostic Time
About an hour – that is how long it takes to diagnose or rule out COVID-19 contagion. New technology based on the combination of magnetic particles and optical means may reduce the waiting time and rapidly diagnose patients. The efficiency of this new technology has already been proven in locating Zika and other viruses.

Open-Air Study Areas Around Campus
Drug Design Education and Innovation
-
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are becoming increasingly important for both basic and translational chemistry research. The Advanced Learning for Innovative Drug Discovery (AIDD) project, a new initiative based at the Helmholtz Zentrum München in Germany and funded by the European Union, will train PhD students in translational research for drug discovery and chemoinformatics. Prof. Hanoch Senderowitz, a leading expert in this expanding field from Bar-Ilan University, will take part in this novel project.
Aging and Gene Coordination
-
A novel computational method that quantifies for the first time the coordination level between different genes reveals a new hallmark of aging which could require a change of course in current efforts to develop healthy-aging treatments.
Although all humans share similar changes during aging such as gray hair, wrinkles, and a general decline in function, aging is considered to be the result of a cellular wear-and-tear process due to accumulated random damage, such as genetic mutations or DNA structural damage.
Nano Innovation Award to Prof. Margel
-
Prof. Shlomo Margel, of the Department of Chemistry and Institute of Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials (BINA), is the recipient of the VSET Nano Innovation Award presented by the scientific organization Vebleo.
Prof. Margel is a pioneer in the field of surface nanotechnology, particularly in the design of functional nano- and micrometer-sized particles for medical and industrial applications.
