Helping Hands – Technion “tikun olam” (repairing the world)
Technion-Israel Institute of Technology students from Mechanical Engineering Prof. Alon Wolf’s Biorobotics and Biomechanics lab practice “tikun olam”. Together with students and researchers from other Technion faculties and Haifa3D, a non-profit organization, they make 3D printed prosthetic hands for children.
Professor Shlomo Maital in conversation with Nobel Laurate Dan Shechtman
In April 1982, Technion Distinguished Professor Dan Shechtman observed a remarkable phenomenon – the formation of quasicrystals. The historic unveiling of a new class of matter won Shechtman the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Technion Professor Emeritus Shlomo Maital is a senior researcher at Technion’s Neaman Institute, and Academic Director of the Technion Institute of Management (TIM) – Israel’s leading executive development institute. He is the author of 10 books, including Technion Nation.
For patients already diagnosed with COVID-19, Technion Professor Josué Sznitman and his team are developing an innovative technology that could dramatically improve the efficacy of existing drugs for treating Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), the leading cause of death in COVID-19 patients.
We had Michael Bronstein founder of Fabula AI, as a guest speaker out our first Technion Alumni Networking meeting on the 17th of September.. He shared his experience on how they are supporting Twitter to identify Spam, Deep Fake and Fake News.

Whether it is the novel 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 will talk 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. Prof. Schroeder believes, it could be possible to apply the same technology to help in the fight against COVID-19.
Prof. Schroeder is an associate professor and a member of the Wolfson Faculty of Chemical Engineering at the Technion. He leads the Laboratory for Targeted Drug Delivery & Personalized Medicine Technologies.
Prof. Debbie Lindell of Technion- Israel Institute of Technology’s Faculty of Biology discusses coronavirus explaining what we know about it.
