Prof. Yoram Palti from the Rappaport Faculty of Medicine received the Israel Prize for Entrepreneurship and Technological Innovation for developing a groundbreaking method for electrical treatment of several types of cancer. He was a faculty member in the Department of Physiology at the School of Medicine at the Hebrew University when he was asked to move to Haifa and help establish a school of medicine. He joined to the faculty of the Rappaport Faculty of Medicine at the Technion and was appointed head of the Department of Physiology and Biophysics. Four patents are registered under Prof. Palti’s name, and the highlight of his research and entrepreneurial activity is the company Novocure, which was founded in 2000 and developed an innovative treatment for cancer patients. The treatment is based on unique electric fields (TTFields) that damage the cancer cells without causing damage to the healthy cells around them and therefore do not entail side effects and other risks.
