 +
                    <hr/></br>
 +
                    <p>It all started when two wandering friends heard about the epic quest of iGEM, immediately they knew they want to embark on this adventure. A band of 12 undergrad-adventurers from 10 different disciplines was then assembled for this pioneering quest. Against all odds they managed to learn about iGEM and introduce it to the Uni. Along with public, recruit the instructors, raise the funds create the project and get to the finals!  In some encounters it is hinted that they even had fun!  </br>We are the first team from Ben Gurion University and the only Israeli team to participate this year. </br>To get to know us personally, move your mouse over the picture above!</p>

 +
                                <p>Prof. Smadar Cohen from the Avram and Stella Goldstein-Goren Department of Biotechnology Engineering, Ben Gurion University, received her BSc, MSc and PhD (Biophysics) from Tel Aviv University, and went on to a postdoctoral fellowship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (with Prof. Robert Langer). Prof. Cohen’s research explores several areas in modern biotechnology, from designing of instructive biomaterials for inducing tissue regeneration and tissue engineering ex- and in-vivo to implementation of intelligent delivery systems for therapeutic peptides and proteins. AlgiMatrix– a scaffold for 3-D cell culture – has been developed in her group and has been licensed and developed into a product by Invitrogen Corporation (Carlsbad, California). Prof. Cohen also developed BL-1040, an alginate-based biomaterial for treating acute myocardial infarction (in clinical phase I /II study). </p>

    About Our Team

    It all started when two wandering friends heard about the epic quest of iGEM, immediately they knew they want to embark on this adventure. A band of 12 undergrad-adventurers from 10 different disciplines was then assembled for this pioneering quest. Against all odds they managed to learn about iGEM and introduce it to the Uni. Along with public, recruit the instructors, raise the funds create the project and get to the finals! In some encounters it is hinted that they even had fun!
    We are the first team from Ben Gurion University and the only Israeli team to participate this year.
    To get to know us personally, move your mouse over the picture above!


Our Proffesional Instructors and Advisors
Prof. Smadar Cohen

Prof. Smadar Cohen

Instructor

Prof. Smadar Cohen from the Avram and Stella Goldstein-Goren Department of Biotechnology Engineering, Ben Gurion University, received her BSc, MSc and PhD (Biophysics) from Tel Aviv University, and went on to a postdoctoral fellowship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (with Prof. Robert Langer). Prof. Cohen’s research explores several areas in modern biotechnology, from designing of instructive biomaterials for inducing tissue regeneration and tissue engineering ex- and in-vivo to implementation of intelligent delivery systems for therapeutic peptides and proteins. AlgiMatrix– a scaffold for 3-D cell culture – has been developed in her group and has been licensed and developed into a product by Invitrogen Corporation (Carlsbad, California). Prof. Cohen also developed BL-1040, an alginate-based biomaterial for treating acute myocardial infarction (in clinical phase I /II study).

Dr. Roei Tsezna

Dr. Roey Tzezana

Advisor

Dr. Roey Tzezana is a research fellow at the Interdisciplinary Center for Technology Analysis and Forecasting at Tel-Aviv University and lecturer at the Technion University in the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering. Dr. Tzezana received his PhD in Nano-technology of tissue engineering and human embryonic stem cells. Today his research focuses on predicting the futures of Israel and Europe, and subjects related to understanding the human of the future and enhancing human capabilities. His research is conducted in collaboration with the security industries, the Ministry of Defense, the Israeli Police, the Airport Authority and the European Union. He also writes columns in several magazines, owns the popular blog Blazing Science, and hosts the radio show Doctor Why.
