Steven Brenner is the Berkeley PI for a $5M computational biology program with Tel Aviv University, funded by the Koret Foundation

Tel Aviv University (“TAU”) announced the formation of an initiative, funded by the Koret Foundation through a $10 million grant, that is designed to advance breakthroughs in medical and information technology.

The five-year grant will bring together leading scholars and scientists from TAU with their counterparts at University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University School of Engineering’s Department of Management Science & Engineering to conduct multidisciplinary research in the fields of bioinformatics and computational biology and smart cities and digital living, respectively.

 The Koret Program for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology will be run jointly by the Edmond J. Safra Center for Bioinformatics at TAU and the Center of Computational Biology at Berkeley. The program will harness the expertise and capabilities of TAU and Berkeley to develop computational tools that integrate patient genetic, genomic and other data for medical purposes.  The Koret Program will award joint research grants to groups at both institutions, hold annual joint workshops and seminars for the TAU and Berkeley bioinformatics communities, operate a visiting-scientist program and facilitate a joint summer research program.
