Shulamit Levenberg studied religious girls in Kfar Pines and did national service as a tour guide at a field school in Jerusalem.

BA in biology at the Hebrew University Faculty of Medicine in Ein Kerem, and direct PhD graduate course under the guidance of Professor Benny Geiger in molecular biology Feinberg Graduate School of the Weizmann Institute. Spent for the purpose of post-doctoral Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where she served five years as a research fellow with Professor Robert Langer, winner of the Technion Harvey Prize. In 2011-2012 served as part of a sabbatical visiting professor at Harvard University.

In 2005 she published a joint study with Professor Robert Langer of MIT, which was a breakthrough in creating parts of human tissue, which managed to create a functioning muscle tissue from embryonic stem cells successfully implanted in mice. This research should bring the medicine to create replacement organs organs, which occurred as a result of physical trauma or illness, and is of great importance in the field of tissue engineering. In early 2007, it was reported that succeeded Professor Gepstein creating in the laboratory beating heart tissue from human embryonic stem cells, on porous, biodegradable scaffold. In this work there are two innovations: the use of human embryonic stem cells, and the formation of a vascular system in the tissue, the tissue transplant is critical for the purpose of the body.

Krill Prize winner for 2006. This year also selected a list of 50 leading scientists of Scientific American, Science Leader "in the field of tissue engineering. In February 2008, received together with three other scientists award, at a ceremony at the Elysee Palace, and UNESCO Headquarters. Was selected as one of the fifty most influential women in Israel by Globes newspaper in 2014.
