Prof. Basel stated that “it is a huge honor to head the Genetics Institute, one of the leading genetic centers in Israel. Genetics is the medicine of the future. In this era of breakthroughs and new discoveries, research in this field is of monumental importance and every time we succeed in preventing a defect or accord a satisfactory life despite rare genetic syndromes, there is renewed rejoicing.
