The stunning visual presentation features the most recent successes of the Technion including the most effective drug yet developed to fight the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and insulin-secreting cells which have been grown to treat diabetes.
The presentation also features distinguished Professors Avram Hershko and Aaron Ciechanover who were awarded Israel's first Nobel Prize for Science for their remarkable discovery of the "Ubiquitin System" which rids cells of redundant proteins, a breakthrough in research into cancer and degenerative brain diseases.
