The Kineret platform enables researchers to transform large-scale clinical data into studies with international visibility and impact.
The ability to conduct multi-center research based on high-quality, standardized, and deeply curated data creates a strong foundation for publications in leading medical journals worldwide.
Behind every publication stands a platform that connects medical centers, integrates data on a national scale, and allows researchers to focus on what truly matters: advancing medical knowledge and shaping the medicine of tomorrow.
The publications presented here are based on the data and infrastructure of the Kineret initiative:
