Shimon Rochkind

Shimon is Known around the world for his research on nerve regeneration and nerve transplantation, Dr. Rochkind is currently researching the influence of low power laser irradiation on severely injured peripheral nerves, brachial plexus, cauda equina and spinal cord. He is also studying spinal cord transplantation followed by low power laser treatment, microsurgical reconstruction of the peripheral nerve and brachial plexus.

His clinical and research interests are focused on the development and clinical use of modern microsurgical and reconstructive techniques for the treatment of peripheral nerve tumors in experimental studies on the restoration of the full damage of the peripheral nerves and spinal cord using bioengineering techniques of nerve cell tissues, as well as the development of the pilot laser technology and methodology for the treatment of damaged peripheral nerves. Dr. Rochkind holds 8 patents issued in the United States, Israel and Europe.
