The Felsenstein Medical Research Center (FMRC) was established in the early nineties of past century. The vision of FMRC is to make medical, basic and clinical research accessible to the medical community of Rabin Medical Center that includes Beilinson and Hasharon Hospitals, Schneider Children's Medical Center and Geha Psychiatric Center.
FMRC possess a close cooperation between the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at the Tel Aviv University and the departments of the Rabin Medical Center, the Schneider Center and the Geha Center.
FMRC possesses 33 research laboratories conducting basic and translational research, combining researchers from Tel Aviv University alongside with physicians from the Rabin, Schneider and Geha Centers.
The research subjects focus around a variety of subjects including: hematology, cardiology, gynecology, psychiatry, endocrinology, fertility, gastroenterology, immunology, dermatology, transplantation, nephrology, genetics and more.
The FMRC provides researchers with an innovative research environment consisting of laboratory space and a variety of sophisticated scientific equipment.
The interdepartmental core facilities equipment available to the scientists at Felsenstein provides the students with practical experience in a wide range of innovative cutting edge research devices such as: Microscope, Sophisticated Fax Machine, Cell Sorter, Confocal Microscope, Devices for Extracellular vesicles Research, Nano- Sight Tracking Device, Zetaview device, Ultracentrifuge and more. The manager of the core facilities unit provides professional consult and training to researchers and students while working with the equipment.
The center holds bi-weekly meetings and seminars in which researchers from Israel and abroad present their studies. The students' participation in the lectures is considered deducible for the requirements for the master's degree.
The management of the center encourages a positive atmosphere spirit that captures and nurtures the interpersonal communication between the researches, both students, head of laboratories and workers.
Recently, a new project was launched, named: "The student in the center" which aims to accompany the students throughout their studies and also provide them with spaces for social gatherings.
