Tel Aviv University

When most people ask a clerk at the supermarket to swipe a bottle of mouthwash through a barcode scanner or when they insert their newly bought memory card into a digital camera, most of them probably have no idea that barcode scanners, bacteria-destroying mouthwash and memory cards are just a few of the everyday, common items originally developed by Tel Aviv University researchers. These products made their way from patents to commercial products thanks to Ramot at Tel Aviv University Ltd., Tel Aviv University’s technology transfer company. Tel Aviv University has over 2,200 faculty members, among them internationally renowned scientists who’ve made significant contributions to the advancement of knowledge in fields as diverse as particle physics, cell biology, biotechnology, genetics, fiber optics, the humanities, arts and social sciences.
