In the hopes of aiding traumatic brain injury (TBI) sufferers with regaining their fine motor skills, Technion researchers conducted a study to shed light on how the brain controls finger dexterity through intricate mechanisms. They believe their findings could lead to the development of innovative rehabilitation strategies that are adaptable to individual patients’ needs. Led by Professor Firas Mawase and graduate student Gili Kamara of the Technion Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, the researchers developed a unique ergonomic device that enables in-depth testing of the strength of a patient’s fingertips. The device allowed them to analyze the ability to learn and…

The Technion and the University of Toronto have launched an AI-based collaboration that advances the use of AI in the field of medicine. The partnership between the Technion’s Artificial Intelligence Hub (Tech.AI) – specifically Tech.AI.Biomed – and the University of Toronto’s leading Temerty Center for Artificial Intelligence Research and Education in Medicine (T-CAIREM) will bring together faculty members and research students from both institutions to develop advanced responses to the medicine of the future around challenges of common interest. The venture kicked off with a joint workshop attended by dozens of scientists and research students from both universities held May…
The Technion is home to Northern Israel’s first research MRI. Located in the May-Blum-Dahl Human MRI Research Center, it is a symbol of the Technion’s ongoing commitment to scientific excellence and human health advancement. Until now, Technion researchers had no choice but to visit other facilities to use an MRI scanner—an essential tool for […]
The Technion was recently selected as an international partner for the Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE), an intellectual hub for the advancement of science and engineering of quantum information. Based at the University of Chicago, the CQE works to connect leading academic talent, top scientific facilities, and prominent members and partners to advance research and train the quantum workforce of tomorrow. Central to the partnership will be the Helen Diller Quantum Center at the Technion, which stretches across six faculties of science and engineering: Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Chemistry, Materials Science, and Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. More than 50 faculty…
In this May 2023 discussion with American Technion Society donors, Associate Professor Beni Cukurel provides behind-the-scenes insights into the research and structure of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at the Technion — the only faculty of its kind in Israel. The faculty’s researchers still operate from the first building ever erected – more than 70 years ago – on the Technion’s main campus, making fundraising for a new building and faculty recruitment a priority for the Technion and Israel. Learn more about the impact of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering here.
