Dr. AI, What’s My Diagnosis?
One in nine women in the developed world will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in her life. The prevalence of breast cancer is increasing, an effect caused in part by the modern lifestyle and increased lifespans. Thankfully, treatments are becoming more efficient and more personalized. However, what isn’t increasing – and is… Read More
Designing and Programming Living Computers
Bringing together concepts from electrical engineering and bioengineering tools, Technion and MIT scientists collaborated to produce cells engineered to compute sophisticated functions – “biocomputers” of sorts. Graduate students and researchers from Technion - Israel Institute of Technology Professor Ramez Daniel's Laboratory for Synthetic Biology & Bioelectronics worked together with Professor Ron Weiss from the Massachusetts… Read More
The Path to Healthy Aging
Life expectancy is consistently increasing thanks to progress in health care, science, and technology. However, longer lives have not meant an improved quality of life for the elderly. In response to this important global challenge, the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology has gathered researchers from different faculties in order to establish the Healthy Aging… Read More
AI Challenge
The unique hardware hackathon that recently took place at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology offered participating students a complex technological challenge: to develop an artificial intelligence-based accelerator combined with a RISC-V processor. The Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) hackathon, which took place in the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer… Read More
Outstanding Achievement
She’s already published a scientific article and participated in an international conference, and she’s still completing in her BSc. Technion student Batel Oved presented her research at a major international conference and was nominated for two awards. The research topic: an innovative method for critical cryptographic hash functions. Batel Oved, a BSc student at the… Read More
Zisapel Building Inaugurated
The Zisapel Electrical and Computer Engineering Building was inaugurated last week at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology during the Board of Governors meeting. The eight-story, 5,400 square-meter building will house the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Its construction was made possible thanks to a generous donation from the… Read More
Encouraging Excellence in Science
Four young researchers from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology recently won European Commission for Research (ERC) Consolidator Grants. This is a record number of winners in one year for the Technion in this track. The prestigious Consolidator Grants encourage excellence in science under the Horizon European Research and Development Framework Program, and are… Read More
An Inside View
New technology that allows for very high-resolution medical imaging (close to 10 µm) is expected to lead to the development of tiny and effective ultrasound systems and other medical applications. The innovative technology, SPADE, is based on research led by Professor Amir Rosenthal and Ph.D. student Yoav Hazan of the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty… Read More
Two Technion researchers won prestigious Proof of Concept grants from the European Commission for Research (ERC)
Two Technion faculty members have won Proof of Concept (PoC) grants from the European Commission for Research (ERC). The prestigious grants, each worth €150,000, are intended to promote the application and commercialization of academic research, including the establishment of a start-up company. They are awarded only to researchers who have won an ERC grant in… Read More
Technion Researchers Honored
The grants are being awarded to the following faculty members: Dr. Ayala Shiber of the Faculty of Biology is exploring how RNA molecules in the cell direct proteins to fold to their native, functional state and avoid misfolding. She was awarded the ERC grant for her research on cellular mechanisms that protect proteins during synthesis… Read More
