Columbia Kalaniyot Welcomes 9 Fellows

The Columbia Kalaniyot Chapter is proud to welcome our first cohort (2026–2027). 

October 05, 2026

As the academic year begins, nine of Israel's brightest researchers are joining us, representing several areas in science, engineering and medicine, from cancer and diabetes to astronomy and robotics. These fellows will build lasting scientific collaborations with Israeli colleagues and and enrich the departments, centers, and institutes that host them. 

The cohort is part of the Kalaniyot Foundation national cohort: 39 outstanding fellows and scholars joining chapters at MIT, Harvard, Penn, Dartmouth, and Cornell, and Columbia. 

We are deeply grateful for the continued support of the Columbia leadership, Deans, and Center and Institute Directors as well as of the generous donors and the National Kalaniyot Foundation. We remain committed to our mission: advancing academic excellence by deepening ties with Israeli scholars and building a vibrant and supportive campus community.
