Dr. Ben Meir Maoz
Engineering
Our laboratory specializes in developing advanced tools for improving human physiology. Overall, our lab has three main areas of expertise: 1. Advanced in vitro models – we use tissue engineering to create advanced in vitro systems that better mimic human physiology (e.g. Organs-on-a-Chip, organoids, iPSC). 2. Integrated electronics – we develop implantable electronics that enable to restoration of tactile sensation. 3. Biohybrid robots – we integrate the sensory systems of insects with robotic platforms to enable super-sensitive identification of smell using biological sensors. Our lab is very interdisciplinary and integrates a number of disciplines to push forward our biomedical capabilities beyond state-of-the-art. Our lab has extensive experience developing advanced in vitro human-relevant models and personalized medicine.
