The presentation will examine ideas that Professor Aharon Katzir, one of the pioneers of Israeli science, published more than 50 years ago and how they stood the test of time. His theories range from thoughts about the origin of life, to modern day nanotechnology; from the first computers built in the 50’s at Weizmann Institute, to DNA computers.
Professor Assaf Gilad is Chief of the Division of Synthetic Biology and Regenerative Medicine, Institute for Quantitative Health Science and Engineering at MSU and Affiliate of the Serling Institute.
