Dr. Ben M. Maoz is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Sagol School of Neuroscience at Tel Aviv University, where he serves as Director of the TAU iPSC Core Facility and Head of the Drimmer-Fishler Core for Personalized Medicine. He earned his BSc, MSc, and PhD in Chemistry from Tel Aviv University, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship in Biomedical Engineering at Harvard University and a Mini-MBA from Harvard Business School.
Dr. Maoz’s laboratory develops advanced human in vitro models for studying physiology, with a focus on neural systems, the blood-brain barrier, inter-organ interactions, and Organ-on-a-Chip technologies. The lab operates across three areas: Organs-on-a-Chip and Body-on-a-Chip platforms using iPSCs and organoids; biohybrid platforms combining biological sensory systems with robotics; and implantable electronics for restoring tactile sensation.
His honors include an ERC Consolidator Grant (2024), an ERC Starting Grant (2020), the Ju-Lu-Dan Prize for an Outstanding Scientist, the Azrieli Fellowship for Academic Excellence and Leadership, and recognition as one of “40 Under 40” by The Marker.
