Shimon Slavin (Hebrew: שמעון סלוין; born 17 May 1941) is an Israeli professor of medicine. Born in Tel Aviv, he moved to Jerusalem with his family in 1946, and resided there until 2007.
In 2016, Slavin contributed to other Hadassah Medical Center doctors' efforts of transplantation of stem cells.[1] That same year, Slavin's private clinic, the National Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cancer Immunotherapy Center, was closed down by Israeli government; his medical license was suspended for six months by the Ministry of Health in 2017.[2]

The Health Ministry suspended for at least six months the license of Prof. Shimon Slavin, the much-celebratad former head of bone-marrow transplantation at Hadassah University Medical Center, who retired in 2007 and set up a private clinic in Tel Aviv. [...] Last year, the ministry ordered the closure of the International Center for Cellular Medicine and Cancer Immunotherapy, a private medical institution in Tel Aviv's Palace Tower run by Slavin. The ministry's Tel Aviv District health officer, Dr. Rivka Sheffer, wrote to Slavin with copies to the Israel Police, the ministry's director-general, its legal adviser and other officials, that what was going on in Slavin's clinic "was not for the good of the health of patients there."
