At the forefront of biomedical research, personalized medicine integrates genetic, molecular, and clinical data to deliver more targeted and effective healthcare solutions


OUR STORY
Despite unprecedented scientific breakthroughs made in recent years, a dramatically wide gap remains between understanding biological processes in the human body and practical tools used in conventional medicine. Translational medicine may be compared to “Esperanto”, as it is accepted by both medical and research communities for combining efforts and facilitating advanced scientific, sophisticated and productive solutions for real life applications.
IPTM, established in 2014 by Dr. Igor Koman at Ariel University, aims to enrich translational technologies by evoking the philosophy of personalization to find exclusive solutions for individual patients’ unmet clinical needs. Our team, which includes experts in biological sciences and medicine, views the patient as a complete holistic system, in which all individual parameters are linked to one another, each having equal value and the potential to influence the final outcome. By adhering to a patient-centered approach, we develop two parallel, but tightly interrelated arms of our research activities: identification of unique individual therapeutic targets and an intensive search for safe and highly effective agents acting towards these targets.

RECENT ARTICLES

Gut Microbiota Shapes Mice Social Behavior and Affects Adipose Tissue
Scientists have long suspected a connection between gut health and how we behave socially – and this study brings us one step closer to understanding it. Using a unique mouse model, researchers explored how gut bacteria influence whether a mouse becomes dominant (Dom) or submissive (Sub).

Using Lab-Grown Tumors to Personalize Breast Cancer Treatment
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women, and current treatments don’t always work the same for everyone. One big challenge is that doctors often don’t know in advance which chemotherapy will be most effective for each patient.

Can a Natural Compound Help Fight Breast Cancer?
A popular diet called the ketogenic diet (high fat, low carbs) causes the body to produce ketone bodies, which are natural energy sources. One of them, β-hydroxybutyrate (βHb), may affect how cancer cells behave.
