Assaf Eltzur

o Member of Bio-electrical & Bio-mechanical Interfaces lab, under the supervision of Asst. Prof. Menahem (Hemi) Rotenberg. o Research Topic – Development and characterization of a new type of magnetically actuated biological scaffold whose purpose is to guide, enhance and accelerate the repair of peripheral nerve injuries, through bioelectrical and biomechanical manipulation. Multidisciplinary research which includes neuroscience, nanotechnology, electricity & magnetism, primary cell isolation,

o Majored in mechanical physiological systems. o Final Project – Development of a prototype practice glove, whose purpose is to trigger neuroplastic processes, such as neural growth and repair, which should help restore fine motor skills following traumatic brain injuries, through repetitive muscle work against changing force. Required in-depth anatomical review, market research, study of materials, mechanical model design using SolidWorks, and working with professionals and patients alike. Supe
