3-D Bio-Printing Center for Cell and Biomaterials Printing

The center was established in the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering and is headed by Prof. Shulamit Levenberg. The field of tissue printing aims to create tissues for transplantation for regeneration, i.e. regrowth. The ambition is to create three-dimensional pieces of tissue in the laboratory that can be inserted into the area of missing tissue or an organ and repair it. The innovative printer in the center prints 3D scaffolds for the cells that will grow into tissue on them. At the Technion, complex and precise artificial tissues are developed that significantly improve the absorption process in the target organ. This is partly through the creation of tissues that contain a developed system of blood vessels that quickly connect to the patient’s blood vessels. One of the Technion’s leading researchers, Prof. Levenberg’s groundbreaking discoveries and technological developments constantly advance the field. Prof. Levenberg has attained many achievements and received many awards, and she is an academic role model for both women and men. In 2023 she was elected as a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors in the United States.
