Prof. Tal Dvir

Prize for Young and Promising Bio-Medical Researcher
Professor Tal Dvir from Tel Aviv University is a faculty at the School of Molecular Cell Biology and Biotechnology at the Faculty of Life Science, and at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering. Professor Dvir’s multi-disciplinary research team focuses on research and development of new technologies, based on cutting-edge materials and stem cells for engineering and regenerating diseased tissues and organs.
The researchers investigate approaches to control stem cells differentiation and assembly of functioning tissues, including the heart, brain, spinal cord, eyes, intestine and more. Among the technologies developed in Dvir’s lab are 3D printing of tissues and organs, engineered tissues with built-in electronics, and development of personalized engineered tissue implants. The research at the lab has a great clinical potential, which may make a change in how diseases are treated, and may prolong and improve the quality of life.
