Virtual Event With Technion Alumni “From a young age, I knew I am going to be a scientist, and it’s a decision I have never regretted,” said Dr. Assaf Zinger. Today, he is a rising star in biomedical engineering and nanotherapeutics. Conducting his postdoctoral research at the Houston Methodist Research Institute in Texas, Dr. Zinger […]
When the first cases of COVID-19 began appearing around the world, Technion researchers didn’t hesitate. They poured themselves into new projects to diagnose, treat, and ultimately prevent the spread of the coronavirus. In total, more than 50 labs are focused on combating COVID-19, ranging from vaccine research and therapeutics to personal protective equipment, diagnostics, and […]
Professor Marcelle Machluf is using trickery to try to trap the coronavirus, and Professor Ezri Tarazi has created an air shield to protect health care workers. These maverick professors from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology talk about their innovative work in the fight against the SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Prof. Machluf […]
Technion Webinar Technion scientists played a key role in the fight against COVID-19, developing everything from diagnostic testing and protective gear to innovative therapeutics. In this informative webinar, Technion Professor Moran Bercovici discusses how his microfluidics research could lead to point-of-care testing to detect the coronavirus. Prof. Bercovici and his team have developed methods for […]
Technion Webinar If the coronavirus pandemic has underscored one message, it’s that the world is one big global village. We can no longer work in our own silos when stock market fluctuations, climate change, and pandemics affect us all. In this special webinar, Technion alumnus Dr. Eyal Zimlichman addresses this interconnectedness and Israel’s efforts in […]
History is no stranger to global pandemics. Greek soldiers were hit with a deadly influenza in 430 B.C.E., the earliest recorded pandemic. Europe and Asia were decimated by the Black Death in the 1300s; cholera ran rampant in the 19th century; and HIV/AIDS afflicted modern times. Each has taught us something about how to manage […]
Webinar with Professor Yaron Fuchs Could insights about cell death lead to better ways to contain viral infections, and serve as the basis for new drug development? According to Technion alumnus and Assistant Professor Yaron Fuchs, they just might. While scientists have long studied stem cell rejuvenation, Prof. Fuchs had the courage and insight to follow a new direction. Looking at the flip side of stem cell renewal — death, he broke new, unexplored ground that is leading to novel insights and strategies in tissue regeneration, including recovery processes in the intestines, hair growth, treatments for cancer and other diseases,…
Technion Professor Noam Adir’s creativity knows no bounds. He has invented spinach-powered electricity cells, as well as technology to harvest energy from photosynthetic bacteria found in ponds. In this webinar, Prof. Adir talks about his equally exciting biomedical research, studying proteins that can serve as targets for novel drug development. He and his research team […]
A Webinar with Professor Avi Schroeder Whether it is the coronavirus behind the global COVID-19 pandemic, or one that causes a devastating disease in shrimp, all viruses require certain proteins in order to pass from one cell to another. Stopping the production of those proteins will effectively stop the virus. In this special webinar, Technion Professor Avi Schroeder talks about how synthesizing a molecule called siRNA, and using it to replace naturally occurring RNA molecules, has proven effective in stopping the highly destructive white spot virus from passing from one cell to another in shrimp. According to Prof. Schroeder, it…
