The principal collaborative groundwork for the new research partnership between NYU Langone Medical Center and The Technion-Israel Institute of Technology began at a two-day joint workshop, held in New York City in fall 2014, at which researchers from both institutions presented updates on their work and learned of ways in which they could work together.
