About

The mission of the Life Sciences program at Bar Ilan University is to impart biological knowledge and scientific education based on modern research.

Overview

Key Features

Life Sciences fulfill a major role in the development of humanity in the 21st century. The challenges we face are becoming increasingly tougher – the questions are becoming broader while the answers need to be more focused.

  • How do we preserve ecological systems that are in danger of extinction?
  • How do we supply food and energy to the immense population of our planet?
  • How do we afford health and quality of life for those suffering from severe diseases and genetic defects?

Simultaneously, scientists are developing unique research instruments that are unimaginably sophisticated in order to cope with these threatening problems, which in the past were thought to be hopeless.

This is a battlefield that is fitting for young and enthusiastic people, who will acquire comprehensive and in-depth knowledge in the different and exciting branches of biology: biochemistry, biophysics, computational biology, molecular genetics, ecology, plant sciences, microbiology, immunology, neurobiology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and more.

In addition to imparting knowledge, the Life Sciences program at Bar Ilan University strives to arouse the curiosity of our students and cultivate their intellectual and cultural growth. We help them advance their technical abilities in laboratory work and field research, hone their abilities to critically analyze scientific information, and enhance their problem-solving skills while strengthening their awareness of the preservation of the environment.
