Growing Lymph Vessels in a Lab
Technion scientists have managed to grow an engineered human lymphatic vessel network. Published in PNAS, the study was led by postdoctoral fellow Dr. Shira Landau and conducted in the laboratory of Professor Shulamit Levenberg of the Technion Faculty of Biomedical Engineering. The significance of the researchers’ findings lies in a better understanding of lymphatic vessel… Read More
The Heart of the Matter: Deep Learning in Medicine
In recent years, meteoric progress has been made in the world of deep learning, but at the present time, there are virtually no medical products on the shelf that use this technology. Consequently, doctors continue to employ the same tools used in previous decades. To find a solution to this problem, the research group of… Read More
En Route to Personalized Medicine
In what can be regarded as a significant breakthrough, researchers at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, together with their overseas partners, present novel technologies aimed at decoding the protein profile of single cells. A perspective paper, detailing the international group's latest methods developments in the area, was recently published in the prestigious journal… Read More
Advanced Optics for Science and Industry
Technion scientists have dramatically improved and simplified the production of precise optical components by immersing them in liquid. The study, led by Ph.D. student Reut Orange-Kedem and Professor Yoav Shechtman from the Technion Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, was published in the journal Nature Communications. Precise optical components are necessary for many fields, including microscopy,… Read More
Teaching Microbes Their Letters
In a recent breakthrough, scientists from the Technion Faculty of Biomedical Engineering were able to achieve recognition of specific geometric patterns – for example, letters – by engineered microbe colonies imitating an artificial neural network. The scientists’ method relies on a modification of the way communication occurs within microbe colonies in nature. The study, led… Read More
Bone and Soft Tissue Repair
Substantial tissue loss can be the result from different causes, including cancer, injury, and infection. Reconstructive surgery attempts to mitigate the damage. Currently, the clinical “gold standard” in the field of reconstructive surgery is the autograft, which entails harvesting tissue from one part of the patient’s body, and transferring it to the damaged site. For… Read More

Assistant Professor Arielle Fischer from the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering combines movement biomechanics, wearable technology, biological research, and artificial intelligence to accelerate and optimize the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Assist. Prof. Arielle Fischer, who is currently establishing two innovative laboratories in the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, combines accumulated knowledge in a variety of fields to… Read More
Remote Monitoring to Improve Human Health
With billions of mobile devices worldwide and the relatively low cost of connected medical sensors, recording and transmitting medical data has become easier and faster than ever. Continuous and long-term dynamic physiological data can now be easily obtained. However, this 'wealth' of physiological data has seen very limited successes in being harnessed to provide actionable… Read More
Two Technion Faculty Members Win ERC Consolidator Grants
