- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. TEDxJaffa partnered with The British Council [www.britishcouncil.org.il/en], which connects people with learning opportunities and creative ideas from the UK. BIRAX [www.britishcouncil.org.il/en/p...] (the Britain Israel Research and Academic Exchange Partnership) is a £10 million initiative of the British Council and British Embassy in Israel that funds cutting-edge research using stem cell therapies to tackle some of the world’s most dreadful diseases.
Tamir Ben-Hur is a professor of Neurology and the Israel S. Weschler Chair in Neurology at The Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School. He earned his MD and PhD in Virology from the Hebrew University (1989), trained in Neurology at Hadassah University Hospital (until 1994) and conducted post-doctoral studies at The Pasteur Institute in Paris (1995 - 97). He is Chairman of the Department of Neurology (Since 2005) and Director of the Division for Clinical Neurosciences (since 2013) at Hadassah - Hebrew University Medical Centre.
Prof Ben-Hur’s research focuses on the therapeutic properties of stem cells and their bilateral interactions with the nervous system in normal and pathologic states. He partners with Siddharthan Chandran; Siddharthan’s TED talk at TED Global 2013. Their work identified previously unknown therapeutic properties of stem cells, which laid the basis for clinical translation of stem cell therapy in multiple sclerosis. His clinical interests are in general Neurology and Neuro-Immunology. He has published numerous papers in basic and clinical neurosciences, and serves as scientific advisor for several start-up companies in the field of regenerative medicine and on the editorial board of several neuroscience journals.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Good stuff , this is the future I hope soon...
You think where close?
Giostar, Advancells and Swiss Medica are looking good
God bless you
In this video is old now so I wonder what kind of progress they made since then This video was made in 2014 and it’s 2021 now
very interesting research and talk ! is the brain stem cells have an impact on the tau protein degeneration or amyloid beta plaque formed on the cortex which leads to the Alzheimer disease ? I appreciate any comments .
omico100 it helps the whole body. Helping the liver strengthen, blood flow lymph etc. thus helping the whole body clean up whats not to be there. I have lyme and am getting treatment this month. It’s known to clean up viruses, bacteria plaques etc. :)
Great job Go stem cells !
