A gift of $1 million from Julius Silver, a New York attorney, to the American Technion Society will enable the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology to assume an international leadership role in the field of bio-medical engineering, it was announced today by the American Society for Technion. The gift will make possible the creation of a Center of Medical Engineering and Applied Human Physiology at the Technion’s Mt. Carmel campus. The Technion is already a pioneer in the application of engineering technology to medicine. The ATS also announced that Technion laboratories in sanitary engineering were selected to participate in a worldwide project to explore new solutions for the disposal of waste materials. The project is sponsored by the United Nations.
