UPCOMING EVENTS
On June 4th we're hosting a Career Soft Skills event, where you will get practical tips on how to impress recruiters, find the right mentor, and refine your job application strategy.
You will also have the opportunity to get your LinkedIn picture taken by a professional photographer, and, as always, to network over snacks!
More details on speakers TBA soon.

PAST EVENTS
AION Labs x Weizmann Biotech Club - April 2024
We had a fantastic time at our Weizmann Biotech Club x AION Labs event, learning about the potential of AI in the drug development process, and hearing from promising startups launched through AION Labs' programs.
A huge thank you to the AION Labs team: Mati Gill, Sharon Kredo-Russo and Yair Benita for putting this together and sharing their wisdom!
And of course to our fantastic panel of start-ups who inspired us with their stories: Tal Leibovich-Rivkin, Chen Lior, Noam Katz and Assaf Kacen.
A few key take-aways:
1. Starting a new Biotech company is tough because it requires 2 sets of expertise: biology and technology. It's better to start off with partners and advisors in both.
2. In silico models are one of the most groundbreaking uses of AI in the pharma industry. They can be used to test hypothesis on druggable targets by digitally perturbing genes and measuring the effect on target cell types.
3. RNA offers a wider range of therapeutic avenues than protein, including as an alternative to non-druggable proteins.
4. When building a start-up, technological innovation is only part of the issue. There are many hurdles to jump to go from molecule to business, including making the right network connections and understanding the industry ecosystem.

FemTech - March 2024
Thank you to our wonderful speakers Avital Beck, Emmanuelle Lipski and Inbal Zafir-Lavie for sharing their unique perspectives on FemTech, entrepreneurship, and navigating the Biotech industry as a woman.
A few key take-aways from the event:
1. Many investors still consider FemTech as a niche, even though it targets 50% of the world population. It is therefore unsurprising that 70% of FemTech is led by women.
2. Only in 1993 did it become compulsory for clinical trials to include women, creating a major gap in data on women's health. Bridging this gap is both a challenge and a business opportunity.
3. Breastmilk and vaginal discharge contain many secrets. Their analysis could unlock invaluable information, including on "invisible diseases" such as ovarian cancer.
4. There is no objective limit to how many children one can have while still enthusiastically developing one's career
5. The first year of a new job could be the best time to come up with original "out-of-the-company's-box" ideas.
