Research

Ongoing, groundbreaking research is one of the most prominent indicators of excellence in a hospital. At Shaare Zedek, research is a vital component of daily activities across all medical departments. Current areas of research are mentioned on the relevant medical department pages. The fruits of numerous studies conducted by Shaare Zedek researchers and physicians are periodically compiled into research publications. 

The academic affiliation of Shaare Zedek Medical Center with the Faculty of Medicine at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem facilitates a highly fruitful academic and research collaboration. Teaching and research progress hand in hand, both testifying to the essential nature of an organization oriented towards the future.

Mada'it is a subsidiary of Shaare Zedek Medical Center that leads collaborative efforts between the hospital and the healthcare industry.

Mada'it activities include overseeing research and clinical trial agreements, consultancy and services agreements, an innovation center including the provision of clinical data and samples, exploratory research into digital technologies, and the commercialization of knowledge and intellectual property technologies developed within the hospital.

The role of the Helsinki Committee is to approve every medical experiment involving human subjects conducted at the hospital. Its responsibility is to ensure the rights, safety, and well-being of the participants by examining and approving the medical trials. Additionally, the Committee monitors the progress of the trial, including changes in the safety assessment of the research product, the trial protocol, the informed consent form, and more.
