Institute for Medical Research, Israel-Canada (IMRIC) is a research institute affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

History

The Institute for Medical Research was founded in 2008. It conducts fundamental and applied research in the field of biomedicine and has five departments: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; Developmental Biology and Cancer Research; Lautenberg Center for Immunology and Cancer Research; Medical Neurobiology; and Microbiology and Molecular Genetics.

IMRIC also offers a bachelor's degree course in Biomedical Sciences (B.Sc.Med),[1] teaches the basic sciences for the undergraduate, pre-clinical programs of the Hebrew University's Faculty of Medicine and is the largest educational institute in Israel for graduate studies in Biomedical Sciences having about 600 master and doctoral students. The doctoral programs offer a wide range of multidisciplinary research areas in basic medical science and related fields and collaborative programs with clinicians from the Hadassah Medical Center.

The first and founding IMRIC chair was Professor Eitan Yefenof, who oversaw the establishment of the institute and shaped its vision and scope. The second chair was David Lichtstein, from 2008-2012. Since 2020, the chair of the institute has been Professor Rami Aqeilan who took over from Professor Haya Lorberboum-Galski, the chair from 2012-2020.

IMRIC is supported in part by the Canadian Friends of the Hebrew University (CFHU)[2] through the establishment of scholarships and research funding. In addition, the CFHU aids in creating key collaborative medical research partnerships between Canada and Israel, such as the Alex U. Soyka Pancreatic Cancer Research Project,[3][4][5] the Grafstein Network for Cancer Research[6] the Canada-Israel International Fetal Alcohol Consortium[7][8] and the Joseph and Wolf Lebovic Cancer Genomic and Immunotherapy Program.

Teaching divisions

The Institute provides a bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences.[10] In addition, its faculty teaches the basic sciences for the undergraduate, pre-clinical programs of the Faculty of Medicine.[11] These include programs for Medicine, Military Medicine, Dentistry, Biomedical Sciences, and Nursing. In 2016, more than 2,800 students were enrolled in these programs.[12]

Research hubs and centers

Research Hubs gather together scientists and clinicians focusing on a specific subject or disease, integrating various scientific and medical disciplines. Each hub consists of researchers from IMRIC, Hadassah Medical Center, The School of Pharmacy, The School of Public Health, Shaare Zedek Medical Center and more. The following research hubs are currently active:

  1. Epigenetics and Common Human Diseases[13]
  2. The Tumor and its Microenvironment[14]
  3. Mitochondria[15]
  4. Developmental Processes, Malformations and Diseases[16]
  5. Cardiovascular Research[17]
  6. The Herbert and Dorothy Nadolny Cardio-Metabolic Diseases Research Hub[18]
  7. Microbe Brain Storming - MIBS[19]
  8. Muscle Degeneration Diseases[20]
  9. Virus-host Interactions and Viral Pathogenesis.
  10. IMRIC Center for Addiction Research - ICARe

There are six research centers affiliated with IMRIC: The Lautenberg Center for General and Tumor Immunology; The Kuvin Center for the Study of Infectious and Tropical Diseases;[21] The Brain Disease Research Center - BDRC;[22] The Autism Center;[23] The Hubert H. Humphrey Center for Experimental Medicine and Cancer Research;[24] and The Rogoff Center for Research in Physiology.
