Greetings from Our Chairman

PURSUE YOUR PASSION

I have a question for you. How often have you said, "Someone should do something about ..."?

That someone can be you.

What are you passionate about? What challenges do you dream your children's children won't have to face? What illnesses would you tackle? What sci-fi technology would you make reality? What cultural pleasures would you bring to a wider world?

Whatever your vision for the future, it's exciting to know that TAU's researchers and scientists are already preparing the way.

Just look at the exciting leaps forward in this month's news. Advances in cancer, autism, and MS research. New energy possibilities. Cleaner water. And more.

Your support for extraordinary work like this makes it all possible. Please make a gift today and set the future in motion.
