Researchers at the Technion — Israel Institute of Technology have developed a first-of-its-kind 3D engineered tissue implant that combines muscle and fat tissue with both blood vessels and a lymphatic network, a step they say could eventually help treat patients with major tissue loss from injuries, burns or cancer surgery. The findings were published in the journal Cell Biomaterials by an international team led by the Levenberg Laboratory in the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. The current standard treatment for significant tissue loss is an autologous flap, in which tissue is taken from one part…
When Dr. Katrien Vandoorne first arrived in Israel to pursue her PhD at the Weizmann Institute of Science, she was struck by something that went far beyond laboratories and research facilities. “The people were very collaborative and warm and inspiring,” she recalled. “The science was really great for me, but also the Mediterranean climate, the food, all those things.” Originally from Belgium, Vandoorne said the country’s scientific culture felt very different from the academic environment she had known in Europe. “In Belgium it’s very hierarchical,” she said. “The professor is very high up, and you should always be very polite…
In 2011, Cornell entered into an academic partnership with the Technion — Israel Institute of Technology to compete for an ambitious goal: build an innovative New York City campus to educate a new generation of tech leaders, conduct breakthrough research and development, inspire startups and propel the city to becoming a global hub for the tech industry. Beating national competitors in the bidding process, Cornell and the Technion won the opportunity to create Cornell Tech on Roosevelt Island. Without the Technion, there would be no Cornell Tech. Nearly 15 years later, Cornell Tech has educated more than 2,700 students and…
In recent decades, growing resources have been invested in the field of hydrogen as a raw material that aligns with the vision of a green economy and the use of sustainable energy. Hydrogen production is not a new process, but the aspiration to protect the environment and improve efficiency presents numerous technological challenges. A group of researchers at the Technion – Israel Institue of Technology and Sweden’s Chalmers University of Technology is presenting a breakthrough in the field – a development expected to significantly improve hydrogen storage capacity for future use. Growing awareness of the environmental damage caused by human…
Patent registration involves prestige as well as significant money. Commercial companies file patents and reap major profits, but academic institutions also benefit from the innovations developed by their researchers. Israel holds a respected position in this arena, and for the fifth consecutive year, the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology ranked among the Top 100 institutions for U.S. patent approvals. The latest ranking places the Technion first in Israel, second in Europe, and within the list of the world’s 100 leading institutions for U.S. patent approvals in 2025. The Technion ranked 81st globally, with 46 patents approved during the year,…
When one of the world’s largest aerospace companies chooses an academic partner, it sends a powerful message. When that partner is the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, the message is even clearer: world-changing innovation is happening in Israel — and it is being driven by excellence. Boeing and the Technion have marked a major […]
Built to protect pedestrians from falling debris, the ubiquitous sidewalk shed has become an unfortunate defining feature of New York City life. And while we can applaud the new, improved designs for these eyesores, we need to get smarter about how to keep fewer of them up and for shorter periods of time. Simply making sidewalk sheds prettier is merely putting “lipstick on a pig” — no offense to pigs. We can do better. As of last year, the city had more than 8,000 active sidewalk shed permits on file. More than 400 have been up for more than half…
The Technion Shines in World Rankings: Top 100 in Shanghai Rankings in Six Fields The Technion has once again proven its global leadership in science and technology. The University ranked among the world’s top 100 institutions in six key academic disciplines and secured the #1 position in Israel in 16 research areas, including, for the […]
Led by a repeat founder and a world-renowned robotics pioneer, the Israeli startup EndoCure has developed a robotic platform capable of producing 3D images with 10 times the density of an MRI. “Current imaging methods, MRI, CT, and manual ultrasound, often fail to detect small or deep tumors, are highly operator-dependent, and are either expensive, invasive, or inconsistent,” says EndoCure. “This creates major gaps in diagnosis, delays in treatment, unnecessary surgeries, and poor patient outcomes.” Founded in 2023 by Dr. Hadas Ziso, a repeat founder with 20 years of MedTech experience, and Prof. Moshe Shoham, a robotics pioneer who was…
A Dream Realized Four years after first approaching the Technion, I was accepted. Then October 7 happened, postponing the start of classes. Today I am in perhaps the University’s toughest program: a 9-year track to earn an M.D. in the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine and a bachelor’s degree in the Faculty of […]
I thank my late uncle, a fallen IDF soldier, for steering me on to this path. He studied computer engineering at the Technion, and his name is on the University’s memorial wall. I didn’t have the honor of meeting him, but I remember stories about him and knew I wanted to continue his legacy here. […]
I am a fourth-year student in the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Technion, majoring in mapping and geo-information. This field is meaningful to me because it combines technology and real-world impact. For example, using remote sensing and mapping, we can help farmers practice precise agriculture — detecting which parts of a field […]
