Sarit Sivan
President of Braude College of Engineering, professor of iotechnology Engineering
Sarit Sivan (Hebrew: שרית סיון) is an Israeli professor of biotechnology engineering and the President of the Braude College of Engineering in Karmiel, Israel. Her research focuses on biomaterials for musculoskeletal and orthopedic applications, with an emphasis on structure–function relationships in connective tissues, and she is a recipient of the European Union's Marie Curie Award for Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Science.
Biography
Sivan studied at the Appelman High School in Dimona and served in the Computer Unit of the Israeli Air Force.
In 1992 she received a bachelor's degree in biology, in 1995 a master's degree in biomedical engineering, and in 2000 a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, all from the Technion. Her doctoral research focused on hemoglobin derivatives as oxygen-carrying materials.
Between 2003 and 2005 she completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Technion, and between 2006 and 2008 she was awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship and conducted postdoctoral research at the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics at the University of Oxford.
During her postdoctoral research, Sivan developed biomaterials that mimic the natural tissue of the intervertebral disc as a potential treatment for disc degeneration and disc herniation. For this work, she and her colleagues received in 2009 the Spine Prize for Regenerative Technologies for the development of a biomaterial for intervertebral disc repair (Regenerative Technologies – Intervertebral Disc Biomaterial: Aston–Oxford–Keel).
In 2010, Sivan and her colleagues published a paper in the prestigious journal Langmuir on liposome-based lubricants for the treatment of arthritis, in collaboration with Prof. Yechezkel Barenholz of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Prof.
The public source identifies “Sarit Sivan” as president of Braude College of Engineering, professor of iotechnology Engineering. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Sarit, Sivan and President.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Sarit Sivan”, the useful work is to connect “president of Braude College of Engineering, professor of iotechnology Engineering” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q126598988. VIAF identifies the subject as 28173302396638400647. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1992, 1995, 2000 and 2003.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
