This organization promotes and supports scientific studies of the Dead Sea environment, primarily the therapeutic potential of its natural resources. The site features information and data about the specific qualities of sunlight, air, salinity, and mud that make the Dead Sea geochemically and therapeutically unique. Research areas include hydrology, climate, and physiopathology including rheumatology, dermatology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, cardiology, and pulmonary and vascular disease.
