Research Labs
Research at Sackler Faculty of Medicine is multidisciplinary, as scientists and clinicians combine efforts in basic and translational research. Research is conducted in the laboratories on the TAU campus, and in the clinical facilities at affiliated medical centers. Our researchers also further the work of several research institutes, which are directly affiliated with our Faculty.
