Bio-Computational Track

The Bio-Computational Track, in collaboration with the Edmond J. Safra Center for Bioinformatics at TAU, aims to enable the translation of computational biomedical research into Digital Health Solutions

SPARK TEL AVIV is a mentoring program created to accelerate scientific discoveries, aiming to increase the impact of academic inventions for the benefit of society.

Our mission is to assist bioinformatics researchers from TAU in overcoming challenges related to transitioning developed computational methods, algorithms, or techniques into widely adopted products, services, or servers.

Bio-Computational Track:

This year SPARK TEL AVIV with the EDMOND J. SAFRA CENTER for BIOINFORMATICS at TAU introduced a Bio-Computational track focused on converting ESTABLISHED BIOINFORMATICS TOOLS into widely usable DIGITAL HEALTH
SOLUTIONS.

The Bio-Computational track aims to support the transition from academic proof-of-concept methods into robust, comprehensive, viable solutions that meet industry standards and that can be distributed for broad commercial or academic use.

Awarded projects will receive milestone-based funding for one year, up to a maximum of $50,000 per project. Funded projects will also receive ongoing mentorship, access to expert advisors, and educational programs throughout all stages of product development.

The program will support EXPENSES, TECHNICAL PERSONNEL, and MENTORING for product design and software engineering efforts required to reach industry standards.
