A tribute to
Murray Koffler
In November 2017, Weizmann Canada lost Murray
Koffler, the first Chair of Weizmann Canada and a
driving force in building the organization. Murray
was a natural community leader and a devoted
supporter of many philanthropic causes for the
betterment of humanity, as well as for the promotion
of the arts and sciences. He had a special connection
to Israel and to the Weizmann Institute in particular.
He shared his leadership skills and business acumen
through his service on Weizmann’s Board of
Governors, as Deputy Chair and Chairman of the
Board of Governors, as a member of the Executive
Board and then a Life Member of the Board.
Murray’s memory will live on at the Weizmann
Institute through the family’s many gifts, and the
leadership role he played in establishing the Koffler
Accelerator of the Canada Centre of Nuclear
Murray Koffler
Physics, which is not only an iconic landmark
of the Weizmann Institute but of Israeli science.
Murray’s wisdom, compassion, and ability to ignite
his own spirit of philanthropy in others was truly
commendable and a legacy for future generations.
Immune Tolerance May Open New Horizons
for Bone Marrow and Organ Transplants
Reducing the need for immune suppression could extend
to other biomedical advances
Mismatched bone marrow transplants now save
the lives of thousands of patients with leukemia
and other blood malignancies, but these transplants
can be risky. The patients’ immune systems need
to be strongly suppressed in preparation for the
transplant, leaving them vulnerable to infection
immediately afterwards.
In a new study reported recently in Blood
Advances, Prof. Yair Reisner and his team at the
Weizmann Institute of Science, together with Prof.
Franco Aversa and other physicians at the University
of Parma, developed a method for dramatically
reducing the need for immune suppression before
and after the mismatched transplant. This method
may lead not only to safer bone marrow transplants –
it could also facilitate organ transplantation and help
enhance cellular therapies.

The dedication of The Azrieli National Institute for Human Brain Imaging and Research, with Sharon Azrieli,
Prof. Daniel Zajfman, Stephanie Azrieli, Naomi Azrieli, and Susan Stern
A visionary gift
In March, Weizmann Canada celebrated the
dedication of the Azrieli National Institute for
Human Brain Imaging and Research (AHBI) on the
Weizmann Institute campus. The special event was
attended by several members of the Azrieli family.
Prof. Noam Sobel led a tour of the AHBI, which
centres around the high-field 7-Tesla MRI facility.
This is the only magnet of this size in Israel, and
will be accessible to scientists across the country.
As noted by Naomi Azrieli, Chair and CEO of
the Azrieli Foundation, “One of the most exciting
things about this new piece of equipment and this
Institute is that they will be utilized nationally, across
Israel, enabling collaboration in brain science. We have
confidence that the 7-Tesla will help scientists break
in to new frontiers, and we are honoured to be part of
this expedition.”
Following the tour and dedication ceremony,
Prof. Daniel Zajfman hosted a dinner in honour of
the Azrieli family and Foundation. “The Azrieli family’s
impact is incredible—for the Weizmann Institute and
for the State of Israel,” said Prof. Zajfman. “The Azrieli
Foundation understands that to do great things, it is
important to pick the best people - and that’s how we do
things at the Weizmann Institute.”

Annual Shalheveth Freier
Physics Tournament
On February 13, Bialik High School in
Montreal hosted the Canadian semi-finals of the
Shalheveth Freier Physics Tournament. Thirteen
teams from Montreal and Toronto met for one
evening to compete and showcase their learned
physics principles.
Each year, Weizmann Canada hosts the
Canadian semi-finals, a pivotal experience for
budding young scientists. Juniors and seniors in
high schools across the country form teams and
take on the challenge: Build a safe that only your
team can open, and then try to open the safes of all
the other teams.
Each team builds a locked box that operates
on the principles of physics, able to be opened in
less than five minutes, but that will keep opponents
stumped for at least 10 minutes. Entries are scored
by a panel of esteemed judges, not only for being
pick-proof, but also for aesthetics, originality and the
team’s knowledge of the science principles. Teams get
added points for every safe they manage to crack.
The winners (pictured above), Herzliah High
School of Montreal and an all-girls team from
Ulpanat Orot in Toronto, were able to demonstrate
great understanding of the physics principles
involved. Both teams travelled to the Weizmann
Institute of Science to compete in the finals, a twoday
international showdown from March 20-21.

Prof. David Wallach
wins prestigious award
Award recognizes work on key
signaling events in inflammatory
and autoimmune diseases
The Weizmann Institute’s Prof. David Wallach
received the prestigious Paul Ehrlich and
Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize in March, recognizing
his pioneering role in elucidating the molecular
mechanisms that contribute to chronic inflammatory
and autoimmune diseases and in applying this
knowledge to therapy.
The prize was awarded in Frankfurt on March
14, the birthday of Nobel laureate Paul Ehrlich, a
German-Jewish physician known for his trailblazing
discoveries in immunology, hematology, and
chemotherapy, as well as the first effective treatment
for syphilis.
Prof. David Wallach
Prof. Wallach, of the Weizmann Institute’s
Department of Biomolecular Sciences, joined an
impressive list of preeminent scientists who have
received one of Germany’s most prestigious medical
research awards. His groundbreaking work revolves
around the protein known as “tumor necrosis factor,”
or TNF, a natural immune hormone—also called a
cytokine—crucial to the inflammatory process and
other immune-defense mechanisms.
Girls Choose Science
Girls Choose Science is an initiative of the Davidson
Institute of Science Education to inspire girls to
pursue an education in scientific disciplines, with an
eye towards a successful scientific career. Although
we live in an era when women are assuming
leadership positions in fields from which they
were traditionally excluded, the number of women
pursuing careers as scientists and engineers remains
low. The three-year Girls Choose Science program is
geared toward 9th-11th grade high-achieving female
students. It will begin in the coming academic year
(2018-2019) as a pilot, with 50 students.
A major aim of the Davidson Institute of Science
Education is to encourage girls to study advanced
STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)
fields, and to assist girls in breaking STEM’s glass
ceiling, so that as they grow into adulthood, these
women will strive to pursue careers in science.
Investing in girls at a young age will help us develop
a network of women who will act as role models for
future generations.

On May 23, 2018, Weizmann Canada is set to host
its annual Wonderful Women event in support of
the Israel National Postdoctoral Award Program for
Advancing Women in Science.
A staple in Toronto’s social calendar, Wonderful
Women is an elegant evening dedicated to
celebrating and empowering women and promoting
life-changing research. Over 300 leaders in
business and philanthropy come together each
May to celebrate the Weizmann Institute’s female
scientists, and to raise funds for the Israel National
Postdoctoral Award Program for Advancing Women
in Science.
More than a decade ago, the Weizmann Institute
saw the disparity between the number of women
and men pursuing scientific careers at the highest
level, and in 2007, launched the Israel National
Postdoctoral Award Program for Advancing
Women in Science. The novel fellowship program
supports female scientists as they pursue postdoctoral
research abroad, which is generally expected, if not
always required, for tenure-track appointments by
institutions of higher learning.

Wonderful Women 2017

Celebrating 10 Years
of Advancing Women in Science
On average, ten of these fellowships are awarded
every year; participants receive approximately
US $40,000 over two years to supplement their host
institutions’ typically low postdoctoral salaries. The
Postdoctoral Award Program provides the necessary
funding to alleviate the financial and logistical
hardships involved in relocating a family abroad.
By providing added financial incentive for excellent
female scientists, the Postdoctoral Award Program
is helping close the gap between male and female
scientists in the highest ranks of academia.
The ultimate aim of the program is to benefit the
scientific community and increase science’s positive
impact on the world, by expanding the pool of
women qualified to be hired by universities on the
faculty level.
Since its inception, 116 women have participated
in the program. The Wonderful Women event in
Canada, which is heading into its fifth year, has
funded 14 of these incredible post-docs.
As part of this special year, we are celebrating
two remarkable women who are forging their own
exceptional paths.
Wonderful Women’s keynote
speaker is modern renaissance
woman Jane Seymour: an
Emmy and Golden Globe
award-winning actor,
best-selling author, worldrenown
artist, humanitarian,
entrepreneur and mother of six.
Wonderful Women’s special
guest scientist Dr. Ruth
Scherz-Shouval is a former
grant recipient who became a
principal investigator in the
Department of Biomolecular
Sciences in 2015. She did her
postdoc at MIT thanks in part
to the National Postdoctoral
Award Program for Advancing
Women in Science.

Sharon Zuckerman and daughter Alison Jarvis
Francie Klein and Michele Atlin
Some of the Wonderful Women of Weizmann
This year represents an important milestone in the
history of Weizmann Canada and its Wonderful
Women; 2018 marks 30 incredible years since
the Women & Science Committee was founded
in Toronto.
In 1988, Wonderful Woman Marvelle Koffler,
wife of the late Murray Koffler Z’L, became aware
that the intellectual strength of women was not being
utilized at the Weizmann Institute. In response, she
founded the International Weizmann Women for
Science program with a mandate to educate women
on the current happenings in the scientific world.
With Marvelle setting the stage, many women
followed suit, taking leadership roles and continuing
to champion women in the scientific arena in the
ensuing years. Since the group’s inaugural meeting in
Israel in 1988, chapters have been formed in Canada,
Italy, England, France and the United States. Sharon
Zuckerman, who has been involved with Weizmann
Canada almost since its inception, and served as
President from 1995 to 2000, was instrumental in
helping to build and brand the organization, not only
in Canada but internationally.
Francie Klein - another incredible champion
for women in science, a member of the Weizmann
Institute international board and one of Weizmann
Canada’s female leaders - served as Chair of the
Women & Science Committee from 2005 to 2012.
“Weizmann opened up a world of wonder with its
fascinating research, brilliant scientists and the experience of
being part of the Weizmann family.” Francie’s dedication
to Weizmann extends far beyond this Committee,
as she currently serves as Vice-Chair on the National
Board, President of the Toronto Chapter, and Co-Chair
(with fellow Wonderful Woman Joanne Nemeroff) of
the Vera and Chaim Weizmann Honour Society.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to spread
the word about amazing, leading-edge
discoveries that will benefit all humanity.”
Michele Atlin first became involved with
Weizmann Canada through her mother. “I stayed
involved because I feel very passionate about what the
Weizmann Institute accomplishes with respect to medical
research. The research benefits all of us and I find it
extremely gratifying to be a part of an Institute making a
global impact, today and on future generations.” Michele
took the helm of the Women & Science Committee
in 2012. With her fellow Committee members, she
has taken the annual Wonderful Women event to new
heights, raising record breaking funds each year. Under
her leadership, this event has evolved into the successful
and thought-provoking evening that it is today.

“If I could speak the languages of
all the women in this world; they
would say to all the scientists here
and abroad and in one voice, life
is a challenge, we will face it, but,
you must find the cure!”
Marvelle Koffler
—Marvelle Koffler, founder, International
Weizmann Women for Science program
Honey Sherman A Legacy of compassion
Weizmann Canada lost one of its Wonderful
Women this past December with the passing
of Honey Sherman. Honey was a supporter of
the Wonderful Women event, with many of her
closest friends serving on the Women & Science
Committee. She was always very supportive of the
Committee’s work, often telling her friends that
they were doing inspiring work.
Honey was a leader in the philanthropic
community and she had a passion for making a
difference in the lives of those less fortunate. With
her husband, Barry, she made visionary gifts to
Sinai Hospital, Baycrest Hospital, UJA Federation,
and the University of Toronto, to name but a few
of the organizations she supported over the years.
In 1996, Honey and Barry were presented with
the Outstanding Philanthropists Award by the
Association of Fundraising Professionals.
Honey and Barry first became involved with
Weizmann Canada in the early 1980s, supporting
numerous projects at the Weizmann Institute,
leading to the establishment of the Barry and
Honey Sherman Wing for Biological Research, as
well as the Nat and Helen Reich Laboratory at the
Canadian Institute for the Energies and Applied
Research in honour of Honey’s parents.
Their compassion and ability to ignite the spirit
of philanthropy in others was truly commendable
and a legacy for future generations.

The Weizmann League gets fitlanthropic in Toronto.
Weizmann graduate students Amitai Mandelbaum and Heli Ben Hamu
visited Montreal and Toronto, as part of a Weizmann League event.
The Weizmann League
The Weizmann League has been busy engaging the
young professional community with unique and
inspiring events. We are proud to announce that the
Montreal chapter of the Weizmann League launched
in January, following the steps of the trailblazing
Toronto group.
On November 16, the Toronto Weizmann
League held The Innovation Game, a panel
discussion with David Shore, Canadian Director
of OurCrowd, Dr. Ran Kafri, Weizmann alumnus,
and Trish Nixon, Chief Impact Investing Officer at
CoPower. Moderated by Jeff Dennis, Entreprenuerin-Residence
at Fasken, this was a fascinating talk
about the state of innovation and entrepreneurship
in Canada and Israel. An all-around wonderful event

“This past November I was fortunate enough to travel
to Israel and tour the Weizmann institute with my
parents. With our guide Shira, we visited some of
the campus highlights including the visitor’s centre,
remarkable laboratories and even the historic residence
of Chaim Weizmann. The visit not only met, but it
exceeded my expectations. What stood out most to me
was not the state of the art buildings nor the beautiful
gardens, but the egalitarian environment of scientists
from diverse religions, nationalities, and ethnicities
collaborating together to produce research on which
the world will rely. Among the scientists with whom
we met was Michal Schwartz, one of the Institute’s
leading researchers on Alzheimer’s disease. Having had
a grandfather who suffered from this disease for years
before he passed away, this meeting really hit close to
home for my parents and me. Her innovative research
on the relationship between the brain and the immune
system as a means to target the disease truly gave us
hope that a cure or at least a prevention is within reach.
Professor Schwartz’s work at the institute is just one
example of how Weizmann, and the state of Israel, is
advancing the world.” —Richard Reitman
