Research Buildings
Dan and Betty Kahn Human Health Building
The D. Dan and Betty Kahn Human Health Building is a new research building to be constructed in the Bat Galim campus next to the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine, thanks to the generosity of the Kahn Foundation. This building will serve as the permanent home of the Bruce and Ruth Rappaport Cancer Research Center (RTICC) . The new building will include labs for approximately 10 experimental and computational investigators and their groups, and the RTICC core facilities Azrieli Technion Genomics Center, Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Metabolomics Center, the Cancer AI center and the Chem-Cancer center, and the biomedical core facility (BCF). It will also include a 200-seat auditorium. Construction is expected to take place during 2025-2027.
The André Cohen Deloro Institute for Transformative Biomedical Sciences and Engineering will be housed in a new building whose construction is made possible by a generous donation of the Adelis Foundation. The Institute will serve as a metaphorical ‘lens’ for focusing and consolidating activities in the domain of human health. The Deloro Institute will host thematic teams composed of investigators from a variety of academic units that wish to work together on human health-related fundamental question or central challenge with an expected life span of a decade or more. Each team will receive, share and collectively manage a common space, and will include resident, new and guest investigators. Teams will be assembled ‘bottom up’ through a structured germination and selection process. The Institute, located near the Faculties of Biomedical Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, Biotechnology and Food Engineering and the Emerson building is scheduled to be populated at the end of 2026.
The Larry and Andi Wolfe Center for Engineering and Medicine
Through the generous support of Larry and Andi Wolfe, the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology and Rambam Health Care Campus (RHCC) have launched a close partnership to establish the Wolfe Center for Engineering and Medicine at the Rambam campus Discovery Tower. This center will cultivate and facilitate ideation, interactions and joint research projects of Technion and Rambam investigators at all ranks with clinicians. The Center plan will dedicate spaces for joint Technion-Rambam projects in multiple interconnected domains as well as expert services in realms of medical informatics, biobanks, -omics, clinical trials, and regulation.
The Emerson Building
The Emerson Building is the first building erected at the Technion with the aim of promoting multidisciplinary research in the fields of life sciences, medicine, and engineering. The building houses laboratories of faculty members from the faculties of Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Biotechnology and Food Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Computer Science. Additionally, it includes core units in the fields of genomics, light microscopy, cell analysis and sorting (FACS), proteomics, and structural biology. The Infrastructure centers are available to all Technion researchers, as well as other academic institutes, research centers, and the Industry.
