The Colton Consortium for Autoimmunity based at the University of Pennsylvania, last week announced a new $15 million, three-year investment from the Colton Foundation to strengthen scientific leadership, expand faculty expertise, and advance collaborative research to accelerate breakthroughs in autoimmune disease across its partner institutions at New York University, Tel Aviv University, and Yale University.

Autoimmune diseases affect millions worldwide and remain among the most complex conditions to diagnose, treat, and prevent. While advances in immunology have deepened our understanding of disease mechanisms, many conditions still lack effective therapies. At the same time, converging progress across academia, clinical research, and biopharma has created an ecosystem with transformative opportunities—one where coordinated investment and collaboration can translate discovery into meaningful advances for patients.

Tel Aviv University’s Green Council is proud to announce that, as part of the implementation of the strategic plan for climate change and sustainability, approximately 45% of the campus’ power consumption already comes from green energy sources.

Members of the Green Council explain that TAU annually consumes approximately 75 million kWh of electricity - about 4 million of which originate from 17,000 square meters of solar systems installed on the rooftops of various buildings across campus, including: the Dan David, Buchmann-Mehta, Mitchell, Sharett, De Botton, Goldschleger and Health Professions buildings, and lecture halls of the Gray Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences. A vast solar roofing system will soon be installed on the Smolarz parking lot as well.

The remaining green power consumption, totaling about 29 million kWh, is supplied by off-campus solar energy sources. The Council emphasizes that its multiannual plan involves a shift to 100% green power within the next few years, including construction of a large energy storage center on campus.

“Space is no longer a distant destination; it is humanity’s next arena of activity, and we are proud to be among those shaping its future.”

A small step for humanity, a giant leap for Tel Aviv University.
The Iby and Aladar Fleischman Faculty of Engineering this week inaugurated the Space Engineering Center (SEC), a new initiative that will bring together research, development, and training in the fields of space and satellite engineering, while serving as a focal point for collaboration between academia, industry, and the defense sector.

The center emphasizes multidisciplinary research spanning electrical engineering, computer science, mechanical engineering, materials science, and related fields.

Bringing together female alumni to connect, learn, and work toward gender equality.

“If it weren’t for the brave women before us who fought for the right to study, choose, work, build careers, and have financial independence, we would not be where we are today. Therefore, we do not have the privilege to stop. We owe it to our daughters, and to all who will come after us.”

So said Dafna Meitar-Nechmad, a key initiator of Tel Aviv University’s annual Feminist Leadership Conference, organized by TAU’s Alumni Organization. Last week, the third conference entitled “Functional Feminism” was held at ANU: Museum of the Jewish people on the TAU campus. Audience members heard from impactful speakers, most of them women and TAU alumni, who are advancing gender equality through research, political activism, industry and art.

Meitar-Nechmad, TAU’s Board of Governors Chairwoman, highlighted Gender@TAU, a new initiative for empowering women on and off campus with four goals:

✔️ Funding female-driven and gender studies research
✔️ Influencing discourse and activism in the public sector by connecting research and policy advocacy
✔️ Creating connections and joint programs with civil society organizations that support women and girls
✔️ Building feminist leadership among University graduates—including those sitting in the audience

Graduate Student Develops System for Detecting Galaxies

From the very beginning of his undergraduate studies, Daniel Pakula entered the world of astrophysics research, and today, as a Master’s student in physics at TAU’s Faculty of Exact Sciences, School of Physics and Astronomy, he is developing systems that help identify faint galaxies that previous surveys failed to detect.

At the start of his second undergraduate year, Daniel took a very unusual step: he decided to engage in active research. “The best way was simply to try,” he says. PhD students advised him that he should just “go door to door around the faculty, knock on offices, and ask supervisors,” even though he still felt he lacked the necessary background and experience.

Now, still at the beginning of his academic journey, Daniel uses the highly sensitive Dragonfly telescope to identify galaxies and test the ΛCDM cosmological model. To do so, he developed an automated galaxy-detection system that has already succeeded in identifying faint galaxies that previous surveys appear to have missed.

Tel Aviv University Canada is proud to share news of a historic milestone for Tel Aviv University and for the future of neuroscience research worldwide.

Driven by the conviction that scientific breakthroughs do not happen in isolation, the Larry and Judy Tanenbaum Family Foundation has established the Tanenbaum Open Science Fund in perpetuity at the Sagol School of Neuroscience at TAU.

More than a philanthropic investment, this gift represents a vision for how science can better serve humanity: through openness, collaboration, and the free exchange of knowledge across borders. The Fund will advance open science practices, strengthening transparency, accessibility, reproducibility, and global cooperation so discoveries can move faster from the laboratory to the people whose lives depend on them.

For Larry and Judy Tanenbaum, this initiative reflects a longstanding commitment to building institutions and ideas that create lasting impact for future generations:
"Open science is built on a simple conviction: discoveries should not sit behind a patent while patients wait. We are proud that Tel Aviv University is the first international institution to join us, forging a lasting link between two of the great research communities in Canada and Israel."

This moment also marks a major milestone for the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute, as TAU becomes its first international partner and its only Israeli partner. The collaboration reflects a shared belief that the greatest scientific progress happens when researchers work together rather than apart.
