The Inaugural Laureate Gala of the Israel Cancer Research Fund was held last night in Los Angeles, with a keynote address by Al Gore.
The guest of honor was Avram Hershko, Israel’s Nobel Laureate for Chemistry in 2004, a Holocaust survivor who received the Nobel Prize for the groundbreaking discovery that led to the development of Velcade, now being used to treat multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. His remarkable story is here. You can do your own part here.
